Aces of the Western Front

Pick your aircraft. Plan your maneuver. Watch both turns resolve simultaneously—neither pilot knowing what the other chose until it is too late to change course.

A duel of prediction and position

Aces of the Western Front is a browser-based aerial strategy game set in 1917. Every turn asks you to read the other pilot, choose a legal maneuver, and commit before seeing the opposing choice.

Four historical aircraft handle differently. Fuel, structural damage, and tailing state shape the maneuvers available, so a good position can be as valuable as a clean shot.

A pilot on the other side

The tactical AI does more than select moves. It communicates in character during the fight, delivers a post-battle debrief, and contributes to a pilot log that grows over multiple sessions.

  • Simultaneous maneuver resolution
  • Four aircraft with distinct handling
  • Fuel, damage, and tailing systems
  • Configurable AI opponent and persistent pilot log
  • Free to play with no installation
