Korsun Pocket 2: Little Stalingrad on the Dnepr

"Korsun Pocket" is a grand tactical/ operational simulation of what the Soviets called the Korsun Shevchenkovsky Operation and the Germans called the Tcherkassy Pocket. This battle, which raged from January 25 through February 17, 1944, was the first large scale encirclement of German forces after Stalingrad and marked the end of the German attempt to stalemate the Red Army on the banks of the Dnepr.
