Per Aspera Ad Astra #PA3
A downloadable game
"Per Aspera ad Astra" is a 2 player wargame aiming to explore the mechanics and the physical constraints of Orbital Warfare in the present and near future. Little is known about the means through which this battle would be fought, so there is some speculation involved in this wargame, yet it is undoubtedly one of the fields of warfighting that is expanding at the highest pace due to its relevance to the "on-earth" fight. In this scenario, two peer forces, the Reds and the Blues will fight to protect their space-based intelligence assets and capabilities, thereby achieving Space Supremacy. The core of the game is in the movement system, trying to get the very sense of orbital mechanics.

Also a printer-friendly version with no background is provided and a (quite clanky) Vassal Module for online gaming.
