Description[edit]
Strategic Operations: Advanced Aerospace Rules provides advanced rules for aerospace combat and solar system-level campaigns. Previously released as Strategic Operations, it had two printings. In 2021 a third printing was released which removed strategic level rules, commonly referred to as BattleForce, and consolidated them in Interstellar Operations: BattleForce. In keeping with the vintage cover theme, the artwork for the AeroTech box was reused. Later that year a fourth printing was released for the "Year of the Mercenary."
From the Back Cover[edit]

New aerospace tactics will allow you to gain air supremacy to match your grasp of ground tactics. Yet the war for a star system is more than a single battle and a commander that utilizes his supplies and personnel with skill will survive the numerous battles to come. Strategic Operations is the one-source rulebook for advanced rules aerospace assets that open the entire conquest of a solar system. It includes new aerospace movement, combat and advanced aerospace unit construction rules, as well as comprehensive maintenance, salvage, repair and customization rules. |
