"Kirovograd" is a World War 2 wargame that recreates the epic armor battle which took place in the Ukraine from January 5-16, 1944 between the forces of General Ivan Konev's Second Ukrainian Front and General Otto Wohler's Eighth Army. After ten days of desperate fighting in conditions of frost and light snow, Konev's troops were unable either to make a lasting breakthrough of the German front or to annihilate those elements of XLVII Panzer Korps that they managed to encircle at Kirovograd. However the Germans, took a terrible pounding and the Second Ukrainian Front had taken the city of Kirovograd, an industrial center and road hub, from them.
