cranky OLD wargamers

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.

cranky OLD wargamers

Post by bobnickbob »

OK... just picked up the game this AM , and if I didn’t need a magnifying glass to read the tutorial part of the manual (which is 98% of the manual), I would be deep in war gaming pleasure by now.....what was the person thinking that made the choice to use 6 point type ( if its that big) for the manual.......I can see it now ;
Well lets see the average age of the person thinking about buying this hex based world war 2 game about a obscure battle on the eastern front would be about 14 years old I’d guess’ and you know how good there eyes are ........
Last time I spent this much money on a war game it came with a 240 page manual (Combat Mission) that could be used by a normal mortal.....
Well now that I got that of my chest ....It does seem to be a great game.........and ya , I know I can print out the stuff I realy need to read,
but to tell the truth I am glad they are working on the icon size and or art work.......thank good I have a good / big screen to use.....
enough already ...thanks for putting out a well made game ,
for us cranky OLD wargamers........
