Korsun Pocket does an excellent job in presenting all of the data and rules in a clear and concise fashion.
If there's any room for criticism in Korsun Pocket, it's that the sound is weak (the music is downright strange at times), the graphics less than eye popping, and the fact that in the end this is really just a simulation of one battle and not an entire campaign.

Somehow, Korsun Pocket manages to capture everything that's compelling about historical wargaming and presents it as a tremendous game.

There was a recent post by a person who bought the Korsun and took it to a dealer to compare it to the Red Rose.
The Korsun I compared against the Rosette was modded by Andy but you have to realize that the cost of the original amp and the mod does not even come close to what Levinson is charging for the Rosette.......
OK here is what the Korsun webpage told: At the 2nd row of the product pictures, the 2nd one from the left is named u2(I fail to get the exact letter from the keyboard so I use 'u'), an integrated amp.......

 diyAudio Forums - picture of the inside of the ML rosette! - This is fun! Compare it with korsun u2
yeah, a lot of people have asked Mark Levinson about this, and he said he does use the same factory as the Korsun but that everything is produced "to his elevated standards" etc. etc.
i know of one person who actually took a Korsun he modded a little (just parts substitutions) to a Red Rose dealer and A-B'ed them, and they did sound a little different (parts differences?) but they were about equally good.
Korsun's retail price for the U2 is 1,560 Yuan, not Hong Kong dollars.
