January 1944. The German Army had their last toehold on the Dneiper River.
This salient projected between two powerful Soviet army groups, the 1st and
2nd Ukrainian Fronts. Though weakened in their previous efforts against the
Germans, on January 25th and 26th, these two powerful groups attacked and
surrounded two German corps.

The Germans responded quickly to this threat, hurrying reinforcements from
other sectors. Their relief drive made good initial progress, but stalled in
the face of stiff Soviet resistance and both sides antagonist, “General Mud”.
In the end, the trapped Germans made a desperate breakout attempt from the
pocket. Less than half of the encircled forces escaped the trap, with none of
their heavy weapons or equipment.

Battle For Korsun is a simulation of these battles in January and February
1944. Players control the various German and Soviet forces which took part in
these struggles. The Soviet player must coordinate the offensives of his
Fronts to encircle the Germans quickly before the Germans powerful
reinforcements arrive. The German player must form a pocket perimeter, then
orchestrate his relief drive with his Panzer divisions to rescue their trapped
comrades
