Attention military history buffs and those interested in miniature games: Join the Ohio History Connection and the Historical Miniatures Gaming Society - Great Lakes Chapter for an afternoon of tabletop miniatures gaming at the Ohio History Center! Learn about battles important to the history of Ohio and put yourself in command. Ask yourself if you would’ve done anything differently if you were in the general’s shoes and see how your battle plans work out! The game starts at noon. If you can’t make it this time, no worries. We will have another scenario to play the first Sunday of next month!
