Undaunted: Stalingrad

Product Information

The 3 commanders on each side: 2 Squad Leaders and the overall Platoon Sergeant, are not physically represented on the battlefield and are immune from effects, both good and bad, except via the text in the RPG inspired scenario briefings. With Undaunted: Stalingrad, the designers have moved the action to Eastern Front, but this isn’t just a reskin. It’s a whole new game with a novel, dedicated campaign system. What’s in the Box Stalingrad, 1942. Before you awaits a grueling conflict in this keystone battleground. As the bullets and bombs tear the city asunder, only through wits and valor can you seize the cornerstone of the entire Eastern Front and change the course of history. Undaunted: Stalingrad is a monumental standalone game that expands the series’ scope and challenge beyond anything that’s come before. Through its branching campaign, you’ll discover more of the hundreds of cards and tiles every time you play. Featuring more than 430 unique illustrations by Roland MacDonald and 150 evocative mission briefings written by acclaimed author Robbie MacNiven, immerse yourself in this campaign at the heart of the war. Bella recensione, non ho capito però se è un gioco rigiocabile una volta finita la campagna, oppure no. Magari da diverse persone, non necessariamente gli stessi.

The consequences of the previous combat are then resolved. Depending on casualties taken up to 3 randomly-selected soldier cards will be removed. These are permamently removed from the campaign but do NOT rip them up! This is not a classic Legacy game but one that can be reset for further play. The cards have individual (fictitious) soldier names and these combatants are now gone. They are replaced, however, by Reserves. These new blood have their own identities but will have lesser abilities. La preparazione e il riordino portano via poco tempo, grazie anche all'organizzazione della scatola. L'ingombro al tavolo è minimo. Per un progetto che abbiamo in Redazione quest'anno, si parlava della diffusione di Undaunted, del suo successo e del perché oggi sia la scelta migliore per chi vuole essere introdotto al wargame. Tutte cose che, in teoria, ha fatto anche Commands & Colors anni prima. Non che questo non abbia avuto diffusione e non ne abbia ancora, ma ci siamo chiesti perché Undaunted pare averlo soppiantato nella “lista dei consigli”, anche tra wargamer esperti.

I forfeited one scenario five minutes in. It was a decisive moment and the affective connection between myself and the game was absolute.

There’s a lot more to learn about within, but I don’t want to spoil this campaign. There are many actions to discover, new units to explore, and the campaign continually introduces new elements for you to learn. This campaign also allows players to reset it once finished, as it is not a legacy game. This allows for unlimited plays through the campaign and exploration of its many branching narratives and endings. Riflemen A out here trying to hold down mission points while tanks slowly approach. Game Experience:Each commander notes the victor in their own Scenario book. They may also have to log on the small map picture that one side has control of a key area. Then note the next scenario and their briefing paragraph to set the scene. The numbers are the same for both but the text is specific to them. It’s a system that forces you into endless awkward compromises. Riflemen, for example, are the only cards that can control tiles. But unless you have multiple matching cards you can’t both move and take control in the same turn. Instead, you have to risk them creeping forward, closing range and making them an easier target while allowing the enemy the chance to move up and contest the tile themselves. Most units have special actions, like engineers launching smoke or machine gunners laying suppressing fire, that you’ll have to balance with the need to move, shoot, and complete objectives. It’s an ongoing, fraught series of tough trade-offs. Each of the 2 players has separate RPG style scenario booklets which give briefings on the battle before them dependent on the outcome of the previous battles. These develop over the course of 15 branching scenarios
