Undaunted: Battle of Britain

Product Information

Then you roll some ten-sided dice depending on the card, with extra dice if you’re attacking the target’s rear, and see if any match or beat that target. I felt this was when a plane was truly “Neutralised” and should be removed so I queried it with the developers. Last but not least, of course, there were the planes themselves - the units players actually take command of in Undaunted: Battle of Britain.

However, it differs from its peers due to a feature more commonly seen in the best board games: deckbuilding. We're proud to announce a brand-new Undaunted game coming next year - this time taking players to the skies in the Battle of Britain. Do you fire at a distance, hoping you’ll get to move in closer and take another shot before zipping by, or get right up close now for the best chance of hitting, knowing that by doing so you’re putting your own plane in a vulnerable spot? This design allows aircraft to maneuver by adjusting the front of their plane to a new edge of the hex. Trevor Benjamin was born and raised in New Brunswick, Canada, but has spent his entire adult life living abroad.

Undaunted: Battle of Britain is a standalone game in the Undaunted series, adapting the core gameplay of the previous games to recreate the dynamic dogfighting of aerial combat. Using communication card actions when your plane squadrons are split up forces you to take useless Discord cards (which do nothing except take up space) into your deck. My father, Cyril “Carl” Duncan Watson-Bartlam, was a pilot for the RAF right from the outset of the War. It’s also worth noting that the comms cards have an initiative value of eight, but if your planes are not in proximity, then you must add a discord to take advantage of this.

Announcing Undaunted: Battle of Britain - Osprey Publishing

It’s a great couples’ board game, providing laughter and frustrated gnashing of teeth in equal measure, and will probably be my go-to when I need a two-player board game for a good long while. Each card has a different value, and the highest bid gets to go first and play their remaining three. When a card is played, players must move their aircraft, but they can only maneuver or attack, not both. It flips the script of air combat tabletop gaming, placing the emphasis on teamwork instead of individual exploits — and it does so brilliantly.Undaunted: Battle of Britain, the latest board game from Osprey Games, is going in a different direction. In Undaunted: Battle of Britain David and Trevor have produced a fascinating twist on the Undaunted formula that brings new challenges for veterans, whilst remaining accessible to new players, and staying true to the ethos of the series. There’s plenty to keep you busy, and the varied setup makes up for the relative sameness of the planes involved. Building on their highly successful game, Undaunted: Normandy, Osprey Games has teamed up with David Thompson and Trevor Benjamin once again alongside artist Roland MacDonald to produce a new game in the series, Undaunted: North Africa. Osprey Games has today announced that they are going to be expanding the well-regarded Undaunted series with a new Historical board game entry.
