Ground of Aces

 
Sirens split the night. Floodlights rake the apron. In Ground of Aces, victory starts on the tarmac, not in the clouds. You build and run a WWII aerodrome where minutes, morale, and maintenance decide whether pilots come home.
Airbase first, sorties second
Shape the field from dirt strip to hardened hub. Lay runways, dispersals, hangars, and workshops. Position fuel farms and bomb stores so trucks don’t snake across the map. Turnarounds rule the loop: refuel, rearm, repair—fast. Rotate crews to keep fatigue low and incident risk down. Weather shifts, hardware fails, and a sloppy taxi lane can quietly kill a mission.
Logistics under fire
The supply chain is tactile and unforgiving. Bowser routes, trolley paths, and service bays form a machine you tune between raids. Craters force reroutes. Misfires demand triage. Medical tents keep veterans alive, protecting the efficiency you’ve built night after night. Morale isn’t flavor text—it moves repair speed, accuracy, and how aggressively pilots push marginal calls.
Why strategy veterans will vibe with it
It rewards clean reads and tempo. Smart depot placement dissolves queues. A tighter AA umbrella turns disasters into near‑misses. The loop is short and readable, yet deep enough for long campaigns. Measure twice, pour concrete once, and keep the apron humming till dawn.
Highlights

Purpose‑built base building: Design efficient chains from runway to hangar to dispersal.
Ground crew management: Shifts, skills, fatigue, injuries, and veteran retention matter.
Reactive logistics: Fuel, munitions, spares, and vehicles that bottleneck if mismanaged.
Dynamic pressure: Raids, incidents, and weather routinely upend perfect schedules.
Morale and medicine: Treat wounds, steady nerves, and protect institutional knowledge.
Campaign cadence: Layer long‑term upgrades over nightly ops for sustained momentum.
