Aces High! (SWADE option)

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Aces

Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines!


Early biplanes, modern fighters, spaceships, and even transforming aircrafts are waiting for brave pilots to soar the skies and dive into battle!

Aces High! is an alternative fighting system that expands on the SWADE Quick Encounters rules, and is designed to represent dogfights that maintain the meaningful details of vehicles, weapons, battle orders and types of enemy units while still playing fast and cinematic.


What’s inside:

  • A system designed to represent dogfights where a handful of heroes fly their vehicles in a small squad and face dozens of enemies

aceslayout

  • Special rules for Orders given from the squad leader and their impact on immediate action and outside of combat

  • Detailed modifiers and combat outcomes for a variety of attacks and maneuvers

  • Rules for multiple crew on the same aircraft

  • Rules to model specific types of missions (escort, defense, bombing, etc)

  • Super Energy rules for your not-so-realistic Sci-Fi, fantasy and steampunk settings

  • Examples of tweakings to play variant games such as Dragon Riders!

  • A handy glossary of aviation slang so that you know your playmates from your bandits and don't forget your bag even if you are on a milk run!

  • A handy, printable one page reference sheet with a summary of the rules

  • Pages of colorful printable tokens for a variety of units!

We’ve updated Aces High with an extra set of four more spacecraft tokens!

These are the same spaceships found in the Guardians of Sol-Tau adventure, and are now available for free to anyone owning Aces High: just download the update file and get ready to take off!

How readily could this be adapted to aquatic combat (submarine combat, for instance)? Or even ground combat? Does the set only handle a wide open empty? (Not actually a fault if it does, but good to know nonetheless.)

You can probably use it as is for ground or underwater combat, if you are ok with fictional positioning in those settings too!
Since in those scenarios maneuvering is more important, I would definitely apply the sectors and quadrants option!

This is a really interesting system for aerial combat, that will come in handy for me in an upcoming campaign. Thanks for writing this :)

Your price is wrong. 40% off would be $2.40 off not $.40 off.

Hello,
the discount is made by drivethru, we cannot decide anything about it.
"this title has been marked down by up to 40%", up to xx% always tricks me too :)

This may be a dumb question I should have thought about before making the purchase but what is SWADE and SWADE Quick Encounters and where can I get ahold of these rule sets?

Hello Nathaniel,
SWADE is acronym of the new Savage Worlds Adventure Edition, and the Quick Encounter rules are on page 134.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
