The Astoria, the favourite ship of the Goonies 😊

A new episode of Ships of War made for a perfect start to the day, alongside coffee and croissants of course. Thanks again Andrew, love the series. Have a great week. All the best, Doug

Really enjoyed this one. Both very lovely looking ships. I’d be interested to see them in play.

Arizona's a museum wreck in pearl bud ,,,,,

Thanks for this series. Just starting learning this game and these have been really useful.

My son bought this for me for my birthday last September. I've read the rules. We have plans to play it over our Christmas vacation.

One thing I would have done differently is every American riflemen would have attacked a german riflemen. Many turns you bolstered instead of firing when the objective was to break the German riflemen. Bolstering sounds good but it means it will take longer to get the cards you want or need from the draw. Doesn't mean I would have done better, just a different tactic. This is the first series of yours I have seen. Well done and worth a subscribe.

So many fights start with the orders "find the enemy but don't bring on an engagement" and end with "you were ordered not to engage and now we have regiments fighting" 😁

Thanks for these videos, I always enjoy them. I have North Africa and Reinforcements, but I think you have sold me on Battle of Britain too.

Thanks for doing these videos. It's great fun!

This is by way of a general thank you to everyone who has chipped in. I get the impression the 'Undaunted' series is pretty "Marmite" in terms of the reactions....

dont like it

About the thing where planes just sort of “stay still”: I wonder if in play testing they tried something where all units in play make 1 move in their forward arc and it’s just the units that have cards played that get to do more significant maneuvers/attacks. While I don’t think it’s a deal breaker for most players (the game can clearly be quite fun regardless), it’s the sort of thing that’ll feel “weird” enough that I wonder how much the designers felt the urge to address it.

You’ve sold me on Undaunted. When it first came out four or five years ago, I saw a few play video and I just could not get interested in the game from what I was seeing. I am already a fan of Up Front and I could really not find this system interesting. After seeing your video I will be getting Undaunted Normandy, not now since its the season of too much expenses right now but in the new year I will be shopping around for a decent copy and a good price. I will probably get North Africa also since they include vehicles in that one. I would probably need to see a video of Stalingrad to make up my mine on that. I will probably skip Battle Of Britain, I never was a big fan of air warfare games. Anyway thanks for these, you are making spend more money 😊

Man-o-man do we ever have a lot of the same games!

Another great video Andrew. Very interested to hear your views comparing the 2 systems. This one has copped some criticism as some planes remain static, however, as someone who has played neither, this game feels much more dynamic than Normandy? I really enjoyed your Heroes of Normandie reports but Undaunted Normandy felt less immersed. I can see a personal dogfights emerging in Battle of Britain. Be interesting to hear other opinions as a potential buyer

Still like UpFront better

Another fantastic series Andrew, thank you for producing and uploading. Greatly looking forward to your next series!

I realise it is too late to change anything but at 22:00 ish when you placed the scouts, I think they also get to do an action Source: rulebook p11

Plans are made to be change. You plan a battle one way sitting at a desk but once the battle is on things change and there goes the planning, it is what it is 😊

I’d be interested to know whether you prefer Up Front or Undaunted?

Interesting what a more gradual buildup of German Forces would have accomplished. Think that getting rid of FOW cards from your hand early is probably worth it.

🦩. Fascinating, cheers, 🎠🤺

🐤. Good morning Sir ,,,,, 🤺 Was that Monty calling for supplies 🐦

Think the Germans are struggling.

“For the Germans I’m going to be quite cautious.” “For the US I’ll also be rather cautious…” Andrew Choong battle doctrine confirmed. 😄 Great video, thanks, looking forward to part 2.

My next game of Undaunted Normandy will be using the Reinforcements Solo cards.

🐈Short n sweet , where's monty ??? 🦕🐈

Do you have any other appearances on the history channels (other than the bismarck ep)? Being an Airfix modeller that was my fave part - incredible knowledge 🫡

I have no idea where you git the idea that both factions can't occupy the same tile at the same time, you're talking nonsense

Who plays around Rochester NY Syracuse?

Andrew and Oscar,, Thanks once again. A very informative part one, I look forward to hearing how it all comes into play later when I watch part two. Have a great day. All the best, Doug

If you are not a Professor of Naval Warfare, you should be. Holy smokes!

I think that the Essex Class was the most beautiful of WWII for me. They had a charm that the Midway Class lacked

Andrew,,, Strategy and Tactics 287 is a handsome game , Goeben 1914 , not all magazines game's are gross,,some even make box editions , and i have Zeppelin Raiders which is incomplete , unimaginative, and the rules contraditary unfinished , poor qualiy and very very expensive, the couners poorly printed wears off , a box doesn't guarante excellent,

Great presentation. Thank you!

The designers were certainly very generous with the Taiho. It would have been interesting if the Japanese had it during the 1942 battles.

I see Oscar has not eaten Essex 🙂

Bonus! I watched part II first! So for me, this is like a bonus vid! Lol! Silly me watching them in reverse order! Hello Oscar!

I seriously enjoy your vids! Super interesting and I really like your ship comparison vids. Cheers from across the pond! 🍻

Great video! Regarding the newspaper behind you, even the UK tried to influence the USA presidential elections at one time! Ha!

I like UpFront better...cant "visualize" the game in this one

Subbed

Facinating.

I recently watched a video about board gaming stores in Tokyo and wondered what might be lurking on their shelves that I had no clue existed.

Nice job of a balancing act in being candid and not trashing the game. Refreshing to see a video that is not all rosey about a game, because other gamers want the true impressions from other gamers. Also subscribed to Bare Bones Waraming, due to your shoutout of his channel!

Great content, keep it up brotha

So its a hit or miss and not a perfect game. What is important is you enjoy the game. One of my favourite games of all time is Gettysburg 1988 from Avalon Hill. This game is far from being a perfect and realistic simulation of the battle but boy do I enjoy it.
