Undaunted: Battle of Britain

I seem to be a serial collector of the Undaunted series of games (although I must confess getting them to the table top has been more of a challenge) as I cannot resist their production quality and 'Boys Own' appeal (see below, when I saw the cover of the box art, I knew they already "had me"): 


Perhaps something to be unwrapped (who am I kidding it is already unwrapped) but even perhaps "played" at the weekend sir?

    Clearly this is catching - U:BoB is the only one missing from my collection - only holding off as I backed Fighters of Europe and not sure I have room for both (or judging by my current collection either!)

    I know .. I think there are Undaunted "self-help" groups springing up around the world where men of a certain age stand up and say out loud, "I do Undaunted .. there I feel better now." ;)

    The alcoholics may look a tad confused!

    My name is Al and I’m a boardgameaholic… :)

    On a similar subject, but at the other end of the complexity scale, have you had a look at the Naval games coming out of Vuca Simulations? Chase of the Bismarck and Task Force are both really interesting.

    PS: No I haven't ("the Naval games coming out of Vuca Simulations? Chase of the Bismarck and Task Force are both really interesting.") but I feel I have to now .. will power fail .. resistance is useless
