Watch “Undaunted: Normandy Review — An Accessible Western Front,” a board game review for Undaunted: Normandy from Shelfside on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by Shelfside on YouTube:
One of the most accessible World War II board games! Play as the Americans or Germans to fight over the Western Front in Normandy, 1944. You will deck build for your army, and position tokens around terrain in 12 different scenarios, that will each slowly unlock more units to use. Different units all have their unique role to play, with riflemen controlling objectives, scouts dealing with the useless fog of war cards, and even snipers rolling lots of dice! You will even have to play around suppressing fire!
Even the insert for this game is solid to fit all of the tabletop chits, so let’s take a look at this popular BGG war game!

About Undaunted: Normandy, from BoardGameGeek:
June, 1944: Through the D-Day landings, the Allies have seized a foothold on the beaches of Normandy. Now you must lead your troops forward as you push deeper into France and drive the German forces back. You will face intense resistance, machine gun fire, and mortar bombardment, but a great commander can turn the situation to their advantage!
Undaunted: Normandy is a deck-building game that places you and your opponent in command of American or German forces, fighting through a series of missions critical to the outcome of World War II. Use your cards to seize the initiative, bolster your forces, or control your troops on the battlefield. Strong leadership can turn the tide of battle in your favor, but reckless decisions could prove catastrophic as every casualty you take removes a card from your deck. Take charge amidst the chaos of battle, hold fast in the face of opposition, and remain undaunted.
