RULEBOOK
A GAME BY DAVID THOMPSON & TREVOR BENJAMIN
SOLO MODE BY DÁVID TURCZI & DAVID DIGBY
ILLUSTRATED BY ROLAND MACDONALD
---
2
In North Africa, the Long Range Desert Group (LRDG) is a thorn in the side of the Royal Italian
Army, disrupting vital lines of communication and striking at strategic targets across the desert.
In Normandy, US forces are braced against a German counterattack, determined to maintain
their foothold in the region. The fighting is intense and the outcome balances on a knife-edge. With
everything at stake, you desperately need reinforcements!
Undaunted: Reinforcements
is a modular expansion that introduces new rules, scenarios, and
units. U
nleash the might of German and American tanks and see how your bolstered squads fare
against them in
Undaunted: Normandy, or make use of mines, assault aircraft, and other new units
as you attempt to outfox your opponent in Undaunted: North Africa. Whether you have one or both
of
Normandy and North Africa, you’ll be able to play
Undaunted in
your mettle in a solo mode by Dávid Turczi.
Undaunted: Reinforcements introduces new actions, soldier types, and vehicles, four new scenarios
playable by two or four players, and a comprehensive solo mode.
Armour and Armament (pg 4) provides the rules for vehicles and specialists in
Normandy.
Under Cover of Night (pg 6) provides the rules for mines and new actions in
North Africa.
Friendly Fire (pg 8) provides the rules for resolving casualties and injuries suffered during your
turn in
Normandy and North Africa.
Joint Operations (pg 8) provides the rules for playing
Normandy or North Africa with four players
in teams of two.
Enemy Unknown (pg 10) provides the rules for playing
Normandy or North Africa solo.

ARMOUR AND ARMAMENT
Undaunted: Reinforcements introduces vehicles, specialists, and new actions to Undaunted:
Normandy, as well as four new scenarios.
NEW UNITS
Vehicles
Vehicles in Undaunted: Normandy work as normal units, with the following exceptions.
Vehicles do not have a regular defence value and cannot be targeted by normal attacks. Instead,
vehicles have an armoured defence X value and can only be targeted by Antitank attacks. See New
Combat Actions
on the opposite page for more about the Antitank combat action.
Vehicles cannot be supressed.
Vehicles cannot enter tiles that contain a
token.
Specialists
Undaunted: Reinforcements introduces
two types of specialists: US Grenadiers
and German Submachine Gunners. If both
players agree, specialists can be added to
any scenario in
Undaunted: Normandy
and any of the
Normandy scenarios from
Undaunted: Reinforcements.
Specialists cannot be used in solo mode for scenarios from Undaunted: Normandy, but they can be
used in solo mode for the
Normandy scenarios in Undaunted: Reinforcements.
To use specialists: after completing setup, each player replaces two of the Rifleman cards from each
unit in their supply with the two specialists of the same squad and faction. Specialists are never
placed in your starting deck.
When you bolster a Rifleman unit, you may add specialists, standard Riflemen, or a combination of
the two, depending on what is available in the supply.
Each specialist has a unique combat action that is not available to a standard Rifleman. The Riflemen
unit can perform this unique action only when a specialist card is played.
When a Rifleman unit suffers a casualty, follow the normal process for determining casualties. If
both a specialist and a standard Riflemen are found in the same area (play area, hand, deck, or
discard), the player taking the casualty chooses which card is removed from the game.
For those familiar with vehicles in Undaunted: North Africa, it is important to note that vehicles
in
Undaunted: Normandy work differently. This is due to the different scale of Normandy.
---
5
NEW SUPPORT ACTIONS
Advance A
Choose any number of friendly combat counters on a single tile belonging to the specified squad.
Move all the chosen counters onto an adjacent tile occupied by at least one friendly combat counter.
Vehicles cannot enter tiles that contain show the symbol token.
You cannot move a supressed combat counter.
NEW COMBAT ACTIONS
Antitank
X
Antitank X works exactly as Attack X, except that it can only target target a unit with an
armoured defence value. A combat counter’s total defence value for an Antitank action is the sum of
the armoured defence, the tile’s cover bonus, and the range bonus.
Attack
YX
Attack YX works exactly as Attack X, except that it must target a unit up to Y tiles away. If Y
is 0, this action can only target a unit on the same tile.
Grenade
YX
Choose a tile up to Y tiles away from the unit taking the action. All enemy units on the tile with a
regular defence value are targeted. Perform a separate Attack X for each unit targeted.
CHANGES TO SUPPORT ACTIONS
Control
Take control of the tile that the unit’s combat counter is on by flipping the control marker to its controlled side.
If your opponent controls that tile, flip their control marker back to its scouted side.
If your opponent controls that tile and has a unit there, you cannot take control of the tile.
This means you may take control of a tile where your opponent has a unit, but only if they do not
already control the tile.
This replaces the rules for the Control action as written in the Undaunted: Normandy rulebook
and applies to all scenarios in
Undaunted: Normandy and Undaunted: Reinforcements, whether
you are playing with one, two, or four players.
---
UNDER COVER OF NIGHT
Undaunted: Reinforcements introduces mines, new unit types, and new actions to Undaunted: North
Africa
, as well as four new scenarios.
MINES
Mines are used in scenarios 201–204. Each scenario specifies which faction controls the mines in
that scenario. The controlling faction will never trigger or take damage from mines.
Mines are not placed on tiles. Instead they are placed between two tiles, so that the token overlaps both tiles.
Mines have an anti-personnel side and an anti-armour side.
If a mine is on its anti-personnel side, it is triggered when an enemy unit with a regular defence value
moves from one of the tiles the mine is overlapping to the other tile the mine is overlapping. When an
anti-personnel mine is triggered, immediately resolve an Attack 3 against the unit that triggered it. The
target receives no range or cover bonus to their total defence. If a unit takes a casualty because of a mine, its movement ends after passing over the mine, even if it would normally have been able to move further.
If a mine is on its anti-armour side, it is triggered when an enemy unit with an armoured defence value
moves from one of the tiles the mine is overlapping to the other tile the mine is overlapping. When
an anti-armour mine is triggered, immediately resolve an Antitank
3 action against the unit that
triggered it. The target receives no range or cover bonus to their total defence. If a vehicle is damaged because of a mine, the owner of the mine chooses which soldier in the unit suffers the injury, and the vehicle’s movement ends after passing over the mine, even if it would normally have been able to move further.
As per ‘Friendly Fire’ on page 8, if a soldier takes an injury, you should remove the card from your
play area if possible.
If multiple mines are triggered at the same time, resolve the attacks one after the other.
After a mine has been triggered and the attack has been resolved, remove the mine token.
anti-personnel anti-armour
The Italian Scout Car moves across a tile boundary with a mine
overlapping it, which triggers the mine. The LRDG player makes an
Antitank
3 attack against the tank’s armoured defence of 4 (as it gets
no cover or range bonus).
The Scout Car is hit, so it takes damage, and then the LRDG player
chooses which occupant of the Scout Car takes an injury. They choose
the Italian Rifleman, so the Italian player first checks their play area
before their hand, discard pile, and deck, and removes the first Italian
Rifleman card they find from the game.
As the vehicle was damaged, the Scout Car ends its movement on tile
19A, even though it could normally have moved further with its Drive
2 action.
Finally, the mine token is removed.
---
7
NEW SUPPORT ACTIONS
Mine X
Choose one: place up to X mines, or remove up to X mines. You cannot place and remove mines
with the same action.
Placing a Mine
Take one mine token from your supply and place it on any of the edges of the tile that the unit is on,
so that it overlaps that tile and one other tile. You may place the mine on its anti-personnel side or
its anti-armour side. Only the mine-controlling faction can place mines.
Removing a Mine
Remove one mine token that overlaps the tile the soldier is on, and return it to the box. Either
faction can remove mines.
Air Support
X
Take X cards from your supply and place them into your hand. You may play these cards as normal
on this turn.
The only cards you may take with this action are Recon Aircraft and Assault Aircraft.
NEW COMBAT ACTIONS
Attack
YX
This works exactly as Attack X, except that it must target a unit up to Y tiles away. If Y is 0, this
action can only target a unit on the same tile.
Bomb
X
Choose any tile. All combat counters with a regular defence value are targeted, including your own
counters. Perform a separate Attack X against each combat counter targeted. The targets receive
no range bonus to defence. As per ‘Friendly Fire’ on the next page, when you inflict injuries on your own soldiers, you must first remove cards from your play area if able.
Grenade
YX
Choose a tile up to Y spaces away from the unit taking the action. All enemy units on the tile with
a regular defence value are targeted. Perform a separate Attack X against each unit targeted.
---
8
FRIENDLY FIRE
When you take a a casualty or an injury on your turn, you must find a card from the attacked combat
counter’s unit and remove it from the game. This is only possible through a Bomb or Mortar action,
or by triggering a mine.
1. If possible, you must remove the card from your play area.
2. If you don’t have a card of that unit in your play area, you must remove it from your hand.
3. If you don’t have a card of that unit in your hand, you must remove it from your discard pile.
4. If you don’t have a card of that unit in your discard pile, you must remove it from your deck. You
must then shuffle your deck.
5. If you don’t have a card of that unit in your deck, you must instead remove the combat counter
from the board.
JOINT OPERATIONS
This section explains how to play Undaunted: Normandy and Undaunted: North Africa with four
players, in teams of two, using the eight scenarios provided in this box. The game is played exactly
as the two-player game, with the following exceptions:
SETUP
Each player has their own starting deck and supply, as outlined in each scenario diagram. However,
they share a supply of Fog of War cards with their teammate.
One player on each team is designated as the commander and is given the command token. On each
team, the commander will always be the player with the Lieutenant (LRDG) or Platoon Sergeant
(US, Germany, or Italy) in their starting deck.
The role of commander will alternate between the players throughout the course of the game, as
explained opposite.
The rules in this section apply to Undaunted: Normandy and Undaunted: North Africa.

HOW TO PLAY
As in the two-player game, play takes the form of a series of rounds. Each round consists of the three
phases:
1. Draw cards
2. Determine initiative
3. Player turns
DRAW CARDS
The two commanders draw four cards from their deck to form a hand.
The two non-commanders instead draw three cards.
DETERMINE INITIATIVE
Only the commanders bid for initiative. They do so exactly as in the two-player game.
The team whose commander wins the initiative will take actions first during this round.
PLAYER TURNS
Players take turns as they would in a two-player game, in the following order:
1.
The commander of the team with the initiative
2. The opposing commander
3. The remaining player on the team with the initiative
4. The remaining player on the opposing team.
Transferring Command
When you would move your Lieutenant (LRDG) or Platoon Sergeant (US, Germany, or Italy) into your discard pile for any reason, instead place it in your teammate’s discard pile. Then give them the commander token. From the next round, they will be the commander. Remember that the commander draws more cards, bids for initiative, and always takes their turn before their teammate.
Changes to Actions
•
Bolster, Command, and Inspire cannot target your teammate’s supply, deck, or play area.
• Guide
can target your teammate’s combat counters.
•
Your teammate’s combat counters are considered to be friendly for the purposes of
mines, the Grenade action, and entering vehicles.
Communication
Any communication with your teammate must be open, so that your opponents can hear. You may not communicate secretly, which includes passing notes and showing each other your cards.

ENEMY UNKNOWN
This section explains how to play Undaunted: Normandy and Undaunted: North Africa solo, using
any scenario from
Normandy, North Africa, or Reinforcements. The game is played exactly as the
two-player game, with the following exceptions:
SETUP
Choose a scenario from Normandy, North Africa, or Reinforcements, and set it up as normal. If
you choose a
Reinforcements scenario, use the two-player setup rules. If playing a scenario from
Normandy or North Africa, find its entry in the solo book included in this box. If playing a scenario
for
Reinforcements, the solo rules are included in the scenario book.
Choose the faction you wish to play as.
For each type of card in your opponent’s starting deck and supply, find the matching solo card for
the appropriate scenario and place the solo cards next to the play area. Your opponent will be played
by a bot.
Each solo card lists which scenarios and factions it is used for.
Next, make any changes listed in the ‘Changes to Setup’ section.
Construct the bot’s starting deck exactly as you would for a player, unless instructed otherwise.
Finally, shuffle all the cards in the bot supply into face-down bolster decks as described in the
scenario’s solo rules ‘
Setup’ section.

Because Enemy Unkown tries to simulate the experience of playing against a human opponent,
it is substantially more complicated than the multiplayer game. If possible, we recommend
that you familiarise yourself with the multiplayer game before playing the solo game.

HOW TO PLAY
As in the two-player game, play takes the form of a series of rounds. Each round consists of the three
phases:
1. Draw cards
2. Determine initiative
3. Take turns
DRAW CARDS
Draw four cards from your deck to form a hand, as normal.
DETERMINE INITIATIVE
Select a card from your hand, as normal. Then, draw the top card of the bot deck as its initiative bid.
Resolve the initiative bid as normal. If you win the bid, you will take your turn first. If the bot wins
the bid, it will take its turn first. In addition, if the bot wins the bid, place the drawn card in its play
area instead of in its discard pile.
PLAYER TURN
Take your turn as normal, with the following change:
Successfully Attacking a Bot Unit or Soldier
If you successfully attack a bot unit, search the bot discard for a card that matches the
attacked unit and remove the card from the game. If there are no matching cards in the
bot discard, search the bot deck. If there are no matching cards in the bot deck, search the
bot’s appropriate bolster deck. If there are no matching cards in the bolster decks, remove
the combat counter from the board. Then, if you have the initiative marker and you did not
remove the combat counter from the board, also place a control marker on the attacked unit.
A combat counter can have multiple control markers on it.
BOT TURN
Draw 3 cards and add them to the bot play area. Then arrange all the cards in the bot play area
in initiative order, with the highest initiative card furthest to the left. Arrange cards of the same
initiative value in the order they were drawn.
If the bot won the initiative bid, there will be four cards in total in its play area, including the card
used for the initiative bid.
If the bot did not win the initiative bid, check if any of the bot combat counters have control
markers on them. For each control marker, check if there is a card matching the unit in the bot play
area. If there is, place that card in the discard pile. If there are multiple copies of the same card, only
discard one per control counter. Whether or not there is a matching card, return the control marker
to the supply.
---
12
Then, resolve each card from left to right, one at a time – that is, from the highest to the lowest
initiative value. For each card, find the first line that applies on the matching solo card and resolve
it. In the rare case that no line applies, the bot takes no action.
Whenever you resolve a card, place it in the bot discard pile. Repeat this process until there are no
face-up cards in the bot play area.
BOT ACTIONS

Resolving Solo Cards
Most lines begin by stating a condition, which is underlined and
followed by a colon. If this condition is false, the line does not
apply and you do not resolve it.
If the condition is true, or could be true, read through the rest of
the line and resolve the relevant action. If the action cannot be
resolved, treat the line as if the condition were false and instead
continue to the next line. This might be because performing the
action would break the rules (such as driving onto tiles with
rough terrain), because it wouldn’t achieve the aim of the line
(such as a unit not getting any closer to its intended target) or
because it would have no effect (such as navigating through
already scouted tiles). The bot will only take a control action
if it would result in the bot claiming objective points.
If a condition refers to a specific target (such as an enemy on the same tile), the line’s action should
be directed at that target unless otherwise specified.
If a line is more complex, it may be broken down into sub-lines, each with its own condition and
effect. If there are sub-lines, find the first sub-line that applies and resolve it. If none of the sub-lines
apply then the line itself does not apply either, even if its condition is true.
If an effect can be resolved in multiple ways, consult the tiebreakers listed at the end of the relevant
line or sub-line. These are listed inside square brackets and in italics.
If an effect specifies that a unit should move closer to an X, and multiple tiles meet this criterion,
choose the one that is closest to X. If multiple tiles are closest, consult the tiebreakers as normal.
If you resolve a then
X action, resolve line X on that card if it applies. If not, resolve the next line
that applies. Keywords are shown in bold and describe the action being taken. See the ‘
Changes to Bot Actions’
section on page 16 for details on how to resolve each type of action. Some solo cards have boxed text at the top. These rules always apply when the solo card is resolved. Solo cards use a standardised set of terms to describe the game state and the actions you take. You
can find a list of these words and their definitions in the ‘
Terminology’ section on page 14.
When a keyword is used, all the restrictions that apply to that action in the normal game also
apply to the bot. For example, if a solo card instructs you to move a unit, the bot may not move onto
tiles that have not been scouted, even if this is not stated on the solo card. Similarly, if the bot scouts
a tile, they must add a Fog of War card to their discard pile. In particular, note the change to the
Control action listed on page 5 of this rulebook.

If a unit has access to a better version of the same action because of the vehicle seat it is in, it will use it instead. For example, if a Tank Crewman in a non-disabled Medium Tank is instructed to attack, it will always choose the Attack
2 vehicle action rather than its own
Attack 1 action.

14
TERMINOLOGY
Randomly
When instructed to resolve a decision randomly, assign numbers on the die to each possible course
of action, so that each course of action has an equal probability of occurring. Then roll the die and
resolve accordingly.
Enemy
A combat counter belonging to you, the player.
Matching
A unit or card with the same squad as another card, unit, or spawn marker.
A unit or card can be described as matching a card, unit, or spawn marker from another faction if
both have the same squad.
Objective
A tile with an objective marker on it is considered to be an objective.
CONTROLLED OBJECTIVE
An objective controlled by the bot.
ENEMY CONTROLLED OBJECTIVE
An objective controlled by you.
OCCUPIED OBJECTIVE
An objective that is not controlled and that has one or more combat counters on it.
THREATENED OBJECTIVE
An objective where all of the following are true:
•
The bot controls the tile
• The bot has no combat counters on the tile
• You have a unit with the Control action on the tile
Unless a card says otherwise, bot actions always refer to the bot’s own side. For example, ‘scouted’ refers to a tile scouted by the bot. Conversely, ‘enemy scouted’ refers to a tile scouted by you.
When resolving tiebreakers, ‘value’ refers to the tile that is worth the most objective points,
and ‘cover’ refers to the tile with the highest cover bonus, unless a card says otherwise.
NORTH AFRICA ONLY
An unoccupied vehicle is not considered to be an enemy.
---
15
Population
The population of a tile is the number of enemy units on it minus the number of friendly units on it.
Roll
Roll a die and resolve the action that matches the die result. If only one of the actions that match a
die result could be resolved, resolve that action instead of rolling.
Secure
A tile is secure as long as at least one of the following is true:
•
The bot does not control the tile
• The bot has other combat counters on the tile
• You have no units with the Control action on the tile
Select a Target
When instructed to select a target, choose a tile within the specified range. If no range is specified, use the unit’s full movement range. If multiple tiles match the criteria, decide based on listed tiebreakers.
NORTH AFRICA ONLY
In scenarios where you are playing as the LRDG and your objective is to claim objective points by destroying structures, any structure on a tile that is controlled by the bot and has a demolition unit present is considered to be a threatened objective and is not considered to be secure, even if other bot units are on the tile.
NORTH AFRICA ONLY
Demolition Unit
A unit with a Demolition
XX action.
Path to Victory
Some solo cards will refer to a path to victory. These paths are specific to each scenario and can be found in the relevant section of the scenario book.
---
16
NORTH AFRICA ONLY
CHANGES TO BOT ACTIONS
Attack X / Antitank X / Grenade
X / Suppress
X
Strafe X / Demolition X / Bomb X
When the bot takes a combat action, it targets the eligible unit with the lowest total defence value.
For an Attack, Bomb, Grenade, Strafe, or Suppress action, only units with a regular defence value
can be targeted.
For an Antitank attack, only units with armoured defence value can be targeted.
For a Demolition attack, only units on the same tile as the attacker with an armoured defence value
or a structure defence value can be targeted.
If multiple eligible units are tied for having the lowest total defence value, target the more dangerous
unit. The units that are more dangerous are listed in the solo section for each scenario in the solo
book or the scenario book included in this box.
If there is still a tie, determine randomly which tied unit is targeted.
Bolster
When bolstering from a specific deck, place the top card from the indicated bolster deck into the bot
discard pile. If there are no cards in that bolster deck, bolster from another random bolster deck.
Command
X
Draw a card from the bot deck and add it to the bot play area. Place it to the left of all the cards with a lower initiative value, and to the right of all the cards with an equal or higher initiative value. If you would place it to the left of the card currently being resolved, instead place it immediately to the right of it.
Repeat this process until you have drawn
X cards.
NORTH AFRICA ONLY
Vehicles are considered to be as dangerous as the most dangerous unit inside them. If the bot successfully attacks a vehicle then it inflicts an injury on the most dangerous soldier
in that vehicle, unless otherwise specified.
---
17
Inspire
Turn the indicated cards in the bot play area sideways. After resolving a card that is turned sideways,
turn it upright and resolve it for a second time. Then discard it as normal.
Recon
Find a Fog of War in the bot play area and remove it from the game.
Then draw a card from the bot deck and add it to the bot play area, face down. It will not be resolved
this turn. At the start of the bot’s next turn, after drawing the three cards, flip all face-down cards
face up. Then arrange them in initiative order as normal.
Difficulty Setting
If you are finding this game mode overly challenging or too easy, you can change the difficulty setting using the below rules:
Easy
The bot always discards the card it used for its initiative bid, even if it wins the bid.
Hard
At the start of the bot turn, draw four cards and add them to the bot play area. If it wins the initiative bid, there will be five cards in total in the play area.
---

SOLO PLAY EXAMPLE
David is playing Undaunted: Normandy Scenario 1: La Raye against the bot.
He draws a hand of four cards and selects his Scout to bid for initiative. He then reveals the top card
of the bot deck, which is a Fog of War. Both cards are discarded and David takes his turn first.
After David has completed his turn, he draws three cards for the bot, arranging them from left to
right in initiative order in the bots play area.
David then checks to board to see if any of the bot’s combat counters have control markers on them. There
are a marker on both the Machine Gunner A token and on the Rifleman A token. As there is a Machine
Gunner A card in the bot’s play area, it is discarded. Then, he returns both control markers to the supply.
He then resolves the two remaining cards in the bot play area, from left to right.
First, he checks the first line of the Squad Leader solo card, which has the following condition:
matching card in play area. As there is a matching card – that is, a card of the same squad – in the
play area, that line will be resolved. There aren’t two matching cards in the play area, so it only
inspires one matching card – the Rifleman – which is turned sideways. The Squad Leader card is
then discarded.

Then he checks the top line of the Rifleman card, which has no condition, only an action: Control.
However, the Rifleman A counter is not on a tile worth any objective points, so it does not resolve
that line (as it would have no effect).
The second line’s condition reads: tile is controlled (by either side) and enemy occupied. The tile
isn’t controlled, so the condition isn’t met, and this line is not resolved.
The third line’s condition reads: tile is secure. As the bot doesn’t control the tile, it is considered
secure, and the line is resolved. The bot now selects a scouted destination within 1 tile, using the
sub-lines to decide which tile to choose.
As the bot controls none of the adjacent tiles, they cannot be threatened, so sub-line A is skipped.
Next, three of the adjacent tiles have uncontrolled objectives (6A, 13B, and 16B), so sub-line B
is used. To decide between them, David checks the tiebreakers, in order. ‘Not occupied by enemy
Riflemen’ rules out 13B. ‘Value’ means that the bot chooses the tile with the highest objective point
value, so it chooses 6A as its destination. The Riflemen Move to that tile.
Normally, the Rifleman B card would be been discarded, but as it was inspired, it’s instead turned
upright and resolved again. This time, it can resolve its first line, so it Controls 6A, claiming 2 points
for the bot. Then the card is discarded.
With no more cards in the bot play area, the bot turn ends and a new round starts.
