📖 About This Game
Hube’s Pocket depicts the campaign in the Western Ukraine from January to April, 1944. It pits Manstein’s Army Group South against the 1st and 2nd Ukrainian Fronts in three encirclement battles — Kirovograd, Korsun, and Kamenets-Podoliskiy.
Both sides confront difficult strategic and tactical problems. The still potent German army holds a vulnerable position. Poor logistics happers the maturing Red Army.
