I love watching these videos even if I never plan to play the boardgame shown. Rodney is the best at explaining rules. When I was looking at getting into Arkham Horror TCG I watched his video on it. Then I came back later to rewatch it just because I liked listening to him explain the game lol.

This looks like a much cleaner implementation of the vehicles from North Africa. The vehicles in N.A. seemed to be clunky compared to the infantry rules first introduced in Normandy. Rodney’s review is, as always, concise, accurate and entertaining! Thanks for the timely posting of this video!

Hi Rodney, great Video again. My first Video was Descent 2nd Edition and I could easily start my first Session with it. Speaking of the undaunted series, this one I will get asap. We still play Normandy with reinforcements a lot. I do have Africa but never play it, and skipped the others. But 2200 with d8 d10 and d12 gives a new layer to an already great strategic game🎉

Undaunted seems to be so good and is so frequently recommended. Finally my main reason to steer clear from the series, being its world war 2 theme, is being addressed by the introduction of this new sci-fi setting. I think I'll finally start playing Undaunted once Callisto hits retail :D And of course there is no better way to get started with a new game than watching Rodney's how to play.
