Rules - Undaunted: Normandy
Undaunted: Normandy is a two-player strategy game set during the crucial phases of the Normandy landings in June 1944. One player takes command of the American forces, the other of the German forces, with the goal of completing a series of campaign missions that simulate advance or defense on the Western Front. At the heart of the game is a deck-building system, where players build and manage their decks of cards to deploy and maneuver their units on the battlefield, striving to overcome enemy resistance and achieve the specific objectives of each scenario.
At the beginning of each round, players draw a certain number of cards from their deck, which represent available soldiers and actions. The main game phase involves using cards to determine initiative and to activate units present on the modular map tiles. With activated units, players can perform several strategic actions:
- Move units on the map.
- Attack enemy units, resolving combat with D10 dice.
- Take control of strategic objectives crucial for the mission.
Tactical decisions are crucial, as whenever a unit takes casualties, the corresponding cards are permanently removed from the player's deck, reducing future options and overall efficiency. The outcome of each mission is determined by achieving the specific map objectives or by eliminating enemy units, based on the scenarios presented in the campaign booklet, which offers a progressive narrative of the war's events.
