Ground of Aces

About

You run a WWII air base as war rages around it. Build runways, assign planes, and keep pilots and staff fed and focused. Balance training, repairs, and morale while coordinating missions and fending off enemy raids. Every decision impacts survival as resources dwindle and pressure mounts. The single-player campaign unfolds over months, with shifting priorities and escalating stakes. The game leans heavily into base operations rather than combat, focusing on logistics and human elements. Historical details about RAF life in isolated locations shape the setting, from rationing supplies to coping with constant air alerts. With no multiplayer or mod support, its appeal lies in methodical planning and adapting to wartime chaos. Early access forums note a steep learning curve but praise the depth of systems once mastered.

Storyline

It is the dawn of World War II, and you take command of a remote Royal Air Force military air base during the Battle of Britain. Engulf yourself in the Second World War and experience its battles from the perspective of your air base crew. The game takes huge inspiration from the everyday life of airplane bases in remote locations and how it felt to live there, in good and bad times.
