These games added factors such as altitude difference, ammunition supply, wind speed, and jammed guns to the basic game (which assumed the guns always worked and had an endless supply of ammunition, and that the players would fly at the same altitude throughout in still air). Gameplay could further be customized by using an included sheet of rules which provided for "intermediate" and "advanced" games. This provides an easy way for newcomers to the game to get a feel for what each maneuver does, and hence a reasonably quick way to get up to a competitive level of play against opponents. The result is not unlike using the aircraft pictured in the book's pages as a fixed, non-moving spatial reference point. The maneuvers map onto a hex board, meaning that players were able to use figures on such a board to represent their current positions relative to each other.Īdditionally, a single player can in essence "fly solo" by picking up any single book and executing maneuvers. Different sets are completely compatible with each other and can be used together, as long as opposing books are selected. The maneuvers in both books are the same, with each set representing a range of aircraft with similar handling characteristics. The process is repeated until one player has maneuvered his opponent into the sights of his guns and can shoot him down. After both players have done this, they are on the same (new) page, looking at new views of each other. Each player turns to the page number announced by the opponent, looks up his own maneuver there, and turns to the page number listed under it.


Both players then announce the corresponding numbers.
Ace of chalices series#
Along the bottom of the page is a series of maneuvers that can be performed, with page numbers listed under them (while the page numbers are different with each page, the maneuvers are constant).Įach player selects a maneuver. Each player turns to the same page number in his book the illustration on that page shows the view from the cockpit of his airplane, looking at the opponent. These are like gamebooks in that instead of reading through them, a person is 'at' one particular page, and the book represents a World War I fighter. He moved on and focusses on his own life.Original Ace of Aces game showing case, two-player books, and instruction sheetĪce of Aces is a two-player combat picture book game designed by Alfred Leonardi and first published in 1980 by Nova Game Designs.Įach set includes a pair of small books, one for each player (generally marked 'German' and 'Allied'). I think all your cards show that you still really like him, but his focus is not with you. As are the other two readings you did.Īre you sure you let this guy go from your heartĭon't forget the 8 wands is also about endings. Sorry.īest to always take the first 'read' you have done with the cards & not repeat the topic unless something changed in the situation.īut also with the ace cups + 8 wands I take it as a no.

The knight of cups ( with the 7 of cups) could indicate someone who is temperamental,fanciful,impulsive in his affections,someone who is prone to fights, that could well fit with the 8 of wands,a relationship that could start very fast,with passion.The wheel of fortune and the chariot could indicate a relationship that will be karmic in nature.

Things may suddenly start moving very fast between you, but try and make sure it is not just for carnal pleasures, and there is some good soul/spirit more than physical thing going behind it.īut i haven't read tarot cards in many years so hopefully one of the real experienced Tarot card readers here will answer you to I'd read that as emotions fluctuating at the speed of lightening due to the past, so yes there is a lot of 'emotional' movement.
