So, does anybody have it yet?

Korsun Pocket is a the second game using the award winning SSG Decisive Battles game engine. Korsun Pocket recreates the desperate German attempt to escape encirclement on the Russian Front early in 1944. The battle is a tense and exciting struggle, with neither side having a decisive advantage, as the Russians struggle to form the pocket, then try to resist successive German rescue efforts and last ditch attempts at breakout.

Fedex just delivered it to me at work. Can't wait to get home and load it up. Very nice box art. There has not been an SSG game that disappointed me yet in lots of years playing so to say I was looking forward to this is an understatement. I hope everyone enjoys the game.

EB have changed their ship date to today, 7/31, so it won't be in stores until tomorrow at the earliest. Whether they ship preorders (like mine) today will be interesting as well...

Game and Player Manuals

Post by Tbone3336 »

There is a very nice beginner booklet included and the Game manual and Player Manual on PDF look very detailed and clear so far. I have not had much time to read through them but am printing them at work for later.

I had preordered from ebgames and just got off the phone with them. They did not get it today, so stores will not have it tomorrow, probably Monday.

Yeah that would be bummer to leave your place for a short time and get back to find one of those silly tags in the door stating that they missed you and your package will be available on the following days, such and such a time or they will try again tomorrow. Ever try to track a package on the same day? Stay vigilant!!:p

Yeah, and I don't think UPS works on Saturday so it might be Monday before you get the game.

Don't fall asleep while on watch.:D

EB has just posted "ship date" on their site as 8/3 for KP (a Sunday??). That likely means that it won't "ship" until Monday, would be in stores Tues, but will not be received by preorderers until mid-next week or later.

Why is it every time I "preorder" I get screwed? They make such a big deal out of it, then you're always the last to get your copy. Might have to stop doing this; setting a bad precedent/trend...

The games got to leave our printers and then go to their warehouse and then be shipped to their stores. Our pre-orders are fill right away. We can be as much as a week or two a had of them.

Last night my EB said it would be in today. When I called today to see if they got their shipment in yet they said it would ship the 6th and they would get it the 7th.:mad:
