Watch “One Man and His Meeple plays Undaunted: Normandy - solo boardgame playthrough - two variants,” a gameplay video on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by One Man and His Meeple on YouTube:
In this video I play Undaunted: Normanndy using two different and unofficial solo variants.
The first is a simple two-handed mode where I'm rolling for initiative for each side and then the winner must discard one of the two highest cards in their hand, before playing. The loser then discards one of the two lowest cards in their hand before taking their turn.
The second is using Dylan Cane's Solitaire AI v1.2 from Boardgame Geek, which you can find here:

This starts at 37m55s
Using this method the AI rolls for iniative and then plays all four of their cards using actions that are weighted using a dice roll method based on the situation for each squad. It provides a logical, but sometimes unpredictable opponent that definitely presents a challenge.
Summing up starts at 2h 03m

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.
