Korsun 44

[Strela]

Yes. Nash used the Russian official report for strengths etc. This was published not long after tha battle in 1944. This way overstated the German tank strength.

Zetterling has done an exhaustive review of microfilm of the German divisional strength returns and essentially provides a much more accurate indication of the German forces.

This has been the basis of the scenario conversions that have been done for Korsun Alt. The original Korsun as released rarely resulted in the pocket being formed as the German tank strength was so overstated. Couple that with excessive German units at platoon level, always allowed the Germans to either cobble a line together or worse still isolate any Russians breaking through.

A lot of work has been done to get the game much closer to the historical time line and to actually allow the pocket to form.

The current release is V3 which works well, but the changes in V4 will definitely enhance the campaign again and also bring the second campaign up to standard.
