Review: Fantastic example of professional people, hyper recommended. Love them. - They resend the package cause i was not at home, they are a great people, love them.
Review: An absolute masterpiece - Undaunted: Stalingrad is similar to other games in the series as far as gameplay goes. Sure, there are some good new mechanics, but if you have played Undaunted: Normandy you will have a general idea of what the battles will feel like and how they will play. What really sets Stalingrad apart is not what happens on the board during battles, but what happens BETWEEN the battles. Each mission is prefaced by a short story, and what happens during the game affects the way the story progresses as well as having effects on which special units may unlock. Taking a bunch of casualties means your favorite soldier may be maimed and unable to use certain actions, or his range reduced. Players are forced to confront the concept of Pyrrhic victory; maybe it's not worth it to win a single mission if it means your upgraded veteran sniper may lose an eye. All of this gives the game a sense of persistence, which keeps me thinking about what the next mission might be all day long. Will I get a chance to recapture the town square I lost, now that I've harassed the enemy platoon occupying it? I can't wait to find out! If you thought any of the previous Undaunted games were good, and you're wondering if this one is worth the price, the answer is absolutely! My only concern with this game is that it has ruined all of the other Undaunted games for me, because it's that good.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gioco divertente e tematico

Gioco molto bello per chi ama i deckbuilding, con il classico sistema di gioco della serie Undaunted però a campagna. Consigliato per chi gioca in due, davvero divertente.
