Aces of Valor

Welcome to France! Aces of Valor is a solitaire game where you command a fighter squadron on the Western Front during World War I. Your goal is to manage your aircraft through a campaign of multiple missions and score as many victory points as possible to assist the war effort. You can choose to play as the Germans, or one the Entente powers (British, French, or Americans). Campaign duration and victory conditions vary based on the number of missions you choose.

The player chooses the campaign’s duration (8, 12 or 16 missions), and draws a card to determine the objective of each mission, which includes patrols, trench strafing, photo recon, artillery spotting, balloon busting, and bomber escort. The player’s flight moves across a gridded map that is a semi-historical representation of the Western front. Anti-aircraft fire is heaviest near the trenches, but can happen anywhere over enemy territory. When combat occurs, aircraft are moved to an “Initiative Track” for up to three rounds of combat, where pilot skill, aircraft performance, and luck all come into play to determine the outcome.
