This week "Korsun Pocket" a great operational strategy game on a great battle on the East Front. I bought this game back in 2003 at Fry's Electronic's, back when you could visit a store to buy your games and meet some great gamers! (boy, I sure miss that ). I haven't play it in a long time but what I remember I enjoyed...highly recommended and really on the cheap!

Patrick


I remember buying this game in a store too. This was one of the first Eastern Front games I ever played. Just by coincidence I had just listened to this Three Moves Ahead podcast about this game earlier this week. https://www.idlethumbs.net/3ma/episodes/korsun-pocket

I am definitely purchasing this one! Anyone have alot of playing time with this one? I'm also looking forward and saving up for the upcoming "Distant Worlds: Universe"!!

I hope in the future we some games on sale that have not been on the "The Deal of the Week"

As I mentioned last week, I hope in the future we some games on sale that have not been on the "The Deal of the Week".
Happy Gaming Everyone!

PS. If you need to see what has been on sale in the past, let me know...I have kept the list!

Does Carriers At War support widescreen resolutions? Does it run on Win 8 64 bit?

Thanks

also the games default is the 1024x768,- which looks fine on my wider screen laptop, but whats better is that if you select advance options, you can manually enter whatever resolution you want - seems like the best option any game could offer. The game is running superb on my win 7 64bit laptop with 1366x768
