Would Be Aces 2023

Welcome to Would Be Aces, a solitaire wargame where you command a flight of P-47 Thunderbolts on missions to destroy various enemy ground forces. As your pilots fly their planes across the Western European landscape they will encounter enemy ground forces, enemy aircraft, obstacles, good fortune and crippling bad luck at every turn as you try to reach the objective.

The main mechanic of the game centres around the confidence level of the pilot, with a push your luck mechanic as they progress towards their objective plus the amazing resilience and toughness of one of the greatest aircraft of WW2 - the P47 Thunderbolt.

The game takes no longer than 1 hour to setup and play and has a low complexity streamlined design.

This is a print and play game with the PDFs containing all the rules, scenarios, maps, player aids and counters required to play. You'll need to print them out, mount the map and counters to card. We have kept the maps and counters to a few sheets (of either Letter or A4 size) so it is very inexpensive and quick to print out and get to the table.

The game comes complete with: Rulebook Tables Book Sortie Record Sheet Plane Sheets Map Sheets Counter Sheets
