<p><strong>B</strong><em>attle for Korsun</em> is a turn-based ‘lite’ strategy wargame set during the Eastern Front of World War 2. Specifically, it covers the events of the Korsun-Shevchenkovsky Offensive between Jan/Feb 1944 which led to what is known as the Battle of the Korsun-Cherkasy Pocket. A surrounded German Army Group failed to breakout and find relief, causing massive casualties.</p>
<p>The game is developed by Yobowargames, or Lance Craner as he is also known, and is a more simplistic wargame that acts as a great gateway experience for casual enthusiasts or those looking to get into that particular niche. Key features include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Hotseat or German v AI</li>
<li>Large Map</li>
<li>Units represent Divisions/Regiments or Battalions</li>
<li>Variable weather conditions</li>
</ul>
<p>At the time of writing, Pocket Tactics has yet to do it’s own dedicated review on <em>Battle for Korsun, </em><a href="https://www.wargamer.com/reviews/battle-for-korsun/" target="_blank">however our sister website Wargamer.com has a review</a> of the PC version if you’re interested in some broad impressions.</p>
<p>Once we do a dedicated review on iOS, this text will be replaced by the official PT verdict.</p>
