Aces of the
Western Front

wwiace.com

Pick your aircraft. Plan your maneuver. Watch the turns resolve simultaneously — neither of you knowing what the other chose until it's too late to change your mind.

Four historical aircraft, each handling differently. Fuel, structural damage, and tailing state all shape what moves are legal. An AI opponent plays tactically and narrates like a 1917 fighter pilot: radio calls mid-fight, post-battle debrief, a pilot log that builds over sessions. Free. No install.

The Americas:
Land of Promise

In Early Development

The ships are approaching the coast. What waits for them isn't quite what history remembers.

The Americas: Land of Promise is an alternate-history strategy game set during the first age of contact between Native American civilizations and the colonial powers of Europe. Guide diplomacy, trade, technology, and warfare as explorers, settlers, and nations chart a course through a New World where events don't unfold the way the record books say they did. It all turns on a small twist: one quiet change to the historical record that will alter the course of human history.
