Undaunted 2200: Callisto Scenario 2 Playthrough | Optimal Play

The Undaunted series has finally freed itself of its WWII setting and the shackles that real life history puts on its mechanics, and it's great! Can the rebellious miners pull off a successful ambush against the overbearing corporation and its giant mechs?

Great video with a fantastic dynamic, thanks! I’ve been on the fence over getting Undaunted Callisto or not and I’m definitely convinced having watched this. Subscribed too. Happy gaming!

Great video, first I’ve seen of your channel! I was shouting at Brandon to move troops left toward the other objective point spaces and split up Neilan’s forces, but you got the win in the end anyway! You’ve definitely convinced me I want to get this for a 2v2 campaign.

Well done, guys. A few errors I noted but you found them yourselves. To me, Hunkering Down is only good if the unit is not going to be attacked - it would suck to lose because you put the card back in your supply.

Oh yeah that's a good tip, especially with neutralizing units being such a prominent route to victory in this version. Although talking about it after our scenario 3 game (not filmed) also ended with neutralizations, we considered that it might be a skill issue. If we are more carefully making our bolstering choices to focus on key units for the objectives, we might not have so many games end with grinding out kills.

Great game! It got really close there at the end
I was wondering which art style you preferred/was easier to read the game state of, the brighter colors but hidden unit faces in this version (I know they have the inserts, but they seem like they'd be easy to overlook in the game) or the sketchier style in the other Undaunted games but that have visible unit faces

[@OptimalPlay]

Great question. I def get the criticism that the art in 2200 is a little more samey and harder to tell apart at a glance, since there are so many faceless dudes in yellow suits. But pretty quickly I was able to identify them by sight anyway, since there aren't that many different units ultimately. I kinda wish the game had gone a little more outlandish and fun sci-fi with its theme in general but they decided to tell a hard sci-fi story about ice miners, so it is what it is I guess haha.

Don’t mean to sidetrack from Undaunted, but is Guards no longer a thing for this channel?

[@OptimalPlay]

We'll be back for more Guards gameplay and talk sooner or later! I blame Jordan being hopelessly obsessed with Arcs all this year.
