Korsun Pocket

Overview   ( More Info )

IC Games - 86%
It is probably THE best hex strategy game out to date though, and indeed possibly one of the best single campaign one too.

Gamespot - 8.6/10
Korsun Pocket is an excellent game, is compelling and addictive for anyone interested in deep strategy games, and is easily the best 2D wargame for the PC to date.

The Wargamer
meets the qualifications for a game that defines new standards for using boardgame concepts in computer games and should increase the audience for such games. It is, without doubt, an essential addition to every serious gamers' library.

Computer Gaming World - 5 Stars
It's the best hex-based computer wargame ever made. Period.
