Question about map locations

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.

Question about map locations

Post by Wallenstein »

Hello!
I just finished a "Last stand at Korsun"- scenario on the German side.
While I was playing it, I also read through the historical battle description of the manual. In the final phase of the breakout/relief attempts, there are mentioned the towns of Shanderovka, Dshurshentsky(spelled right?) and hill 239.
Those locations seem rather important during the final fightings, but they don´t appear on the map.
So just out of historical interest, does anybody know the according hex values?

All in the vicinity of Lisyanka with Hell's Gate (Shenderovka) a hex or so to the east.

A bit more for info, you could put Shenderovka say in hex 23,26 mid-way between Lisyanka and Korsun Airfield, hence Lisyanka became essential for the drive from Shenderovka to the breakout over the Gniloy.
