Certainly, it wasn't a rousing success the last time Matix tried to release three games at once. Of course, it beats a year+ without any releases.
They've also implied that the game would be available direct from Matrix a week or so ahead of other sites.
Releasing multiple products on the same day makes logical sense to me
But im not worried...it will come sooner...or later....I have plenty to occupy me until such time

Hi Guys
First like I said before and will say it again. We will not release a game until we feel it is ready.... no debate. The last three weeks were not wasted as suggested but use to do some extra testing and AI adjustment. Why did we do that..... simple.
Since we were late in getting the gold master out we lost our spot in the production que at our printers. So we took that time and used it to catch a few minor bugs and correct them.
We also do print more then one product together so we can get some better prices on the production. Wargames sell so few copies than other games that if the developers are going to make enough money to make another games we must save were we can. Also retail really wants more than one title at a time from the small guys like Matrix Games.
So you can expect not two but three games availalbe on the week of July 28th we should start taking preorders at the end of next week or possible sooner. Our preorders will ship in most cases the week of July 21 (NOT set in stone but a safe bet) and the retail stores should have them in the stores the first week of August.
I hope that makes it as clear as I can and I again want to thank everyone for there support. I am VERY sure you are going to enjoy SSG new game.

Hey Joe,
Ask for all three. If you ask for one you probably only get that one. Ask for three you may get two or three

, greed is good!!!
Being this close to release is alot easier to take now, three good games and hot weather here in Philly? Crank up the AC and game, doesn't get any better than that.
Makin Money is the idea of it all, make alot of money, make better games, make more money, make even better games and so on..
Can't wait for the next 2-3 weeks.

I'm
trying to wait for the Matrix store to come back up so I can pre-order directly. I just can't stand the thought of having to come to these forums and see everyone who ordered from Matrix talking about how great KP is 2 weeks before EB even sends mine out.
I would probably go completely insane with anticipation. Or even more insane with anticipation than I am already, which would not be a Good Thing.

Hola Josan
¿Sabes cuando llegara este juego a España y donde podria conseguirlo?
Soy de Valencia.
LLevo bastante tiempo jugando a juegos de estrategia tanto de tablero como de ordenador.Queria preguntarte que tal te parece el Korsun Pocket y que nivel de complejidad tiene. No busco un juego tan complicado como el ASL.Los prefiero mas del nivel del World in Flames o Russian Front.
Gracias y un saludo

La matriz tiene una distribuidor europea. Pienso que los detalles del contacto están en el homepage.

Does this mean it will be available in stores before people who ordered directly from you get it? If so, how do I cancel my preorder?
