Anyway, Congratulations Matrix & SSG, I hope you have a hit on your hands with this one. Since I've purchased every wargame SSG has made, I expect I'll order it once it's released (and I read all the good things about it).

Also, I'm sad that Matrix Games has no partners in Hungary, so I don't have any chance of getting my piece until some really nice person ;) tells me a good virtual shop in Europe (where I can maybe order one :().

It's an all too rare occurence in the gaming industry today when a game lives up to its hype and proves worth the wait.

Looks like KP could very well be one of those gems. Good show, SSG and Matrix!

If KP is a huge success, as it undoubtedly deserves, it will go a long way toward making up for the earlier "mistake". :)

[B]Hi guys,

I´m proud to announce that Korsun Pocket won Computer Gaming World's "Editors Choice" award!


Computer Gaming World - September 2003 issue
[B]Korsun Pocket, 5 out of 5 stars, Editors Choice[/B]


“The best hex-based wargame ever made. Period.”

“Somehow, Korsun Pocket manages to capture everything that’s compelling about historical wargaming and presents it as a tremendous game.” [/B][/QUOTE]

CGW will be the the to tell you they only review finished games. If it's finished, where is it?

several forum members have reported receiving their copies already. Perhaps the courier in your area has been delayed?

Cheers Chris

This is a possibility.

My "courier" is an idiot who can't tell the difference between my house and the neighbor's house 6 miles down the road.

My neighbor could be playing it now.

A big [SIZE=3]THANKS[/SIZE] to everyone involved in this project as I will now be able to fully recover from the withdrawal pain and agony I've been experiencing from my hobby due to the lack of new/quality games.

I can now put the TOAW disk back in the jewel case! Whoo hooo!


Great job Matrix!


Now, if we can only get Combat Leader out the door.............................:D

Status: offline 		This is an excellent game and I am glad I had not given up on Matrix. What I like is the clean interface. I do not go to sleep trying to remember obscure commands etc. I also like the graphics and the density of information on the map. It seems to play semi-realistically. I would like more info on what is known about the armaments of the different units. Bakke's unit was a Tiger-equipped unit right? What are the SU units equipped with? etc. The main thing is that this game is fun to play. That is not true about a large percentage of new games. Steel Panthers was fun to play also. I hope this system can be adapted to a wide variety of operational WWII situations! Very good job SSG and Matrix!
