📖 About This Game
Korsoun 1944 is a World War 2 Operational level board-wargame that covers the Korsun-Cherkassy pocket, in which two German army corps were encircled by the Soviets in January-February 1944. One player controls the Soviets and tries to close the pocket, while the other one controls the Germans.
Published in Vae Victis magazine #72 (Jan-Feb 2007 issue).
