25:00 Why not meet in the middle by shuffling your supply deck before the start of the game and stack the supply deck in rifleman, scout etc stacks as they come from your hand, and simply pick up units how they are stacked in the supply deck?
Great interview! Really happy to see that the Undaunted system is expanding through incorporating narratively-linked campaign elements. That is definitely my favourite way to experience tactical and strategic wargaming. Can't wait for the release!
@OnTableTop - just a heads up, this video is showing as Unlisted for some reason. I only noticed as I had trouble finding it again this morning. Not sure that's intentional or not, but it'd be good if more people could get to see it as it was a great interview.
I always find it interesting to hear the designer's thoughts about a game, why they decided on a particular approach or game mechanic. I'm looking forward to seeing it play out.
Reminds me of the excellent designer notes in the victory/but games. With so many tactical game choices it's very informative to hear the history beginning from dnd.
I've only played Undaunted Normandy, but looking forward to getting into the rest of the series, especially using the solo version with Reinforcements.
Great interview! A few questions: What catch-up mechanics are included to stop one player slipping further behind? What legacy games had you played to gain inspiration?
Thinking about diving into Undaunted at some point, so thought I'd check out a few videos. Pleasant surprise to find a competition attached to the video 😮. Hope I'm not too late to the party 😁👍
I thought of a couple of questions after the fact for David. 1. Could this be played 4 player similar to the 4 player scenarios in Reinforcements? It could make for some interesting team dynamics if one player has to risk their soldiers to get to an objective and so on. 2. Other than it being huge, I remember a while back that the designers said this was the game that nearly broke them... Was there anything specific that got them close to breaking or was it just the enormity of the project in general? Thanks again for a really interesting interview!
It was a combination of the scope of the game, making sure that the effects of the upgrade/casualty system didn't create a "death spiral" for one player, and the insane behind the scenes complexity of the branching narrative.
@@davidthompson7233 great - I potentially have a group that would be interested in playing so this it good to know (I'll definitely be playing 2 player for the first campaign though), thanks again!
I'm interested to know if more undaunted games are coming to Steam. I see Normandy is scheduled to drop soon, but I would like stalingrad too. Also, an Android version would be nice!
Unfortunately if you see any comment (with a link to telegram etc) that is a scam. We only ever announce winners in the video itself (Weekenders on a friday)
Too bad this wargame including the Russians, has come out at this time. It's like releasing a game about the pandemic during the time Covid 19 was killing thousands.
@OnTableTop Watch out because there are people trying to scam your viewers with a 'You won a prize'. Perhaps pin a comment or talk about it in your next video that you don't expect us to contact you via Telegram.
The tokens are what grabbed my attention. I will forever choose tokens with artwork, looking like this or similar than a shit ton of miniatures.
I had no idea there's was an accompanying art book, that's just the kind of thing to get fired up for a game and the full imersive experience.
the art style for this game is amazing

I played Undaunted Normandy for the first time last week...the next day I bought Undaunted North Africa.
Great interview, very interesting.
Can't wait for Friday to see Battle of Britain

I love the artwork in this game and adding names is a really nice touch.
I sent a message on telegram suddenly i apparently had won an iPhone, hoodies and a camera... It's a scam
Thanks for the interview! My son and I can't wait to get our campaign started
Love listening to these interviews. As someone trying to design a board game I really appreciate these insights.
all my desings end up being risk….
Always nice to get the background and perspective from the designers and creators of games.

Congrats, David Thompson on this fantastic series! Enjoying every piece of Undaunted very much
Been looking forward to this all week! (and the rest of the content on the way this week)

The tiles changing and branching campaign sounds awesome!
I've only played Undaunted Normandy, but looking forward to getting into the rest of the series, especially using the solo version with Reinforcements.
Great interview David. Very interesting to hear that the winning team is generally the one that takes more damage. Almost self-balancing.
Loving this series of interviews and showcases!
I swear I go back and forth just buying all of these games. Thank you for such an indepth review.
Hope the series will visit the Pacific Front some day :)
Great interview! A few questions:
What catch-up mechanics are included to stop one player slipping further behind?
What legacy games had you played to gain inspiration?
Really looking forward to Stalingrad, seems to be completely exploring the potential of the base Normandy system.
Thanks for the game David. Loving it
Nice they felt the desire to see where they could take it.
Really interesting to hear from one of the designers, especially about a unique system such as Undaunted. Can't wait for the next video!
Thanks for the interview!

Great interview, thank you! Can't wait to see which direction you take this series of games next.
A great interview, as always!
Really enjoying this series. Love the way it keeps building
Good interview, liked hearing about the thought process.
Can't wait to get my hands on this and highly intrigued as to how Undaunted will translate to Battle of Britain
Very interesting interview! I'm looking forward about getting Stalingrad!
You guys get the best guests.
Very interesting to hear from David. Thanks for covering this great series of games.
Interesting to watch these interviews
Enjoyable listening to this, more interviews like this for sure!
I’ve not played any Undaunted yet, but Stalingrad sounds interesting especially with the campaign element.
What a great series this is turning out to be
Very cool system. Nice to hear about the product's development.
Great interview! Can't wait for this game!
Interesting discussion here, thanks.
And the city changes too - that is a great idea for this type of game
Amazing interview, so excited to try this game out!
Great video and interview!!! Indeed shows as unlisted (i.e. not under Videos for OnTableTop).
Love the art style! Can’t wait to play :)
What an interesting new version of the Undaunted!
Looking forward to picking up Stalingrad

Theoretically you could play some (most) of the scenarios 4p. You would just have to decide how to divide the forces up between the teammates.
@@davidthompson7233 ah makes sense, must've been quite the task! Thanks for replying David
@@davidthompson7233 great - I potentially have a group that would be interested in playing so this it good to know (I'll definitely be playing 2 player for the first campaign though), thanks again!
Great and informative interview!
Looks great! Can't wait!
Can't wait to play it
Thanks for the video, I love the series
Good interview.
Is the giveaway still going on?
I can't wait to receive and check out this game! I love anything eastern front.
Cant wait to play a campaign
love all the different campaigns. Seems really flushed out with a developer that cares about their product
Still looking for someone to play this with
Still want to play
Well done
I'm interested to know if more undaunted games are coming to Steam. I see Normandy is scheduled to drop soon, but I would like stalingrad too. Also, an Android version would be nice!
I love the fact that undaunted Stalingrad can be reset, looking forward to it 👍
UNDAUNTED!!!! what a series!
NO more fog of WAR
huh? So did I win or was it a scam.... :(

@@OnTableTop Thank you! fingers crossed. :)
Repost here to warn the rest
The interview I liked that was good interesting info.
I'm sure you guys know but someone is phishing on this video commenting for people to private message their account. You may want to block them
Loved it!
So glad this can be reset after the campaign for replayability and being able to swap sides
What a clever and intelligence game
Great
Why is the big man shouting at the screen?
Wach out for the scam comments guys

But nazis are ok "at this time"?? It's just a historical game, mate. Chill out..
