# About Ground of Aces
Take command of a remote military air base during World War II. Build your own airfield, manage iconic aircraft and oversee your crew’s well-being. Prepare them against air raids and send your pilots on dangerous missions. Survive and help your nation win the war!
Ground of Aces is inspired by free form base builder games like Rimworld and Going Medieval and history strategy games like Hearts of Iron IV. The art style will pay homage to the “ligne claire” style of Franco-Belgian comics like Biggles and Buck Danny.

Hi everyone, welcome to a look at ground of aces
Here we are. Look at this straight into our little
Desk in our in our bedroom model of a Bristol Blenheim and these beautiful beautifully presented
Menu system here. Um, so what is it ground of aces? It's a
base building set in World War two and
and predominantly around airbases
so it's right up my street I got a couple emails actually from the
the team who behind this game and they said look we've got a demo out, why don't you
you would like you to check out would you be interested in them?
yeah it's just up my street World War 2 aviation love it so let's crack on with
a new game and let's explore what this game has to offer it's currently a demo
with the game coming out later actually if we go back there is a roadmap here so
you can see it was a Kickstarter back in April May 2023 then the alpha one was
delivered in March 24, Alpha 2 in around July 24, Alpha 3 in November and then Alpha 4 around
January this year, then Alpha 5 out in March and 5.5 minor update in May and now we've
got into the demo mode and then we've got early access release sometime soon by the
looks of it, then we've got an update planned for August and more updates and a full release
I'm looking around early spring next year which is quite exciting.
Lots of things to develop still.
So anyway, hopping back.
So here's our mission briefing.
Open to us is Litchfield.
There we go.
Name of location RAF Litchfield.
Landmark beacon LF.
Located three miles north east of Litchfield.
Base operating 1st August 1940.
The date is currently the 13th of August 1940, so right in Battle of Britain
territory. Amount of crew members, we've got eight ground crew by looks of it. We've
got no pilots currently, we have no aircraft, we don't even have an
airstrip. But the weather's sunny so it's not all bad. So it looks like they've
built a road into the middle of nowhere and this is where they want us to build
RAF Litchfield. Okey-cokey, let's get to it.
Okay here we are RAF Literary. Oh look we've got a Gloucester Gladiator.
Fantastic. Staffordshire, England. This looks alright.
Got anti-aircraft guns look. Oh hang on. ME-109. Or BF-109 should I say.
Looks like some Heinkel H111s by the shadows and some Stukas.
Yeah, Stukas! Oh, oh I see. The base has been bombed out and that's what we got to pick
the pieces apart. A few days later, this is where we're re-rocking and go, come on, commander,
this is your new digs. Brilliant. Welcome to the demo of Ground of Aces. Please
note after 28 in-game days, this demo will conclude with an attack by the Luftwaffe.
If you want to see how you'd fare amidst their bombings, wishlist the ground of aces to get notified when the game goes to early access. Sure thing.
You have been allocated a plot of land to build up a new RAF airfield. We supplied you with the ground crew and a shipment of starter resources to get you going.
Establish your airbase capabilities. We will continuously supply you with weekly resource shipments. Fantastic.
Wall supplies are currently on high demand. Make sure you gather and use natural resources
in your vicinity efficiently to get started. Build up workbenches to refine natural resources
to useful materials for your missions. It's up to you to be as efficient as possible in
these dire times.
Critical for the air-based capabilities are three things. A designated runway, yeah. A
Minimum tier and free of obstacles, yeah we don't want a tree in there.
