Military History Miniatures Gaming
Advertisement
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!
UPCOMING SCENARIOS
September 6: Battle of Lake Erie, Sept. 10, 1813 - Refight this pivotal naval action in the War of 1812 fought off the coast of Put-In Bay, OH. The U.S. Navy, commanded by Oliver Hazard Perry, captured six vessels of the British Navy. The victory assured American control of Lake Erie for the reset of the war.
October 4: Wars of Napoleon, Warfare in Europe, especially those of the Napoleonic Wars, naturally influenced the U.S. This will be a grand scale meeting engagement battle from the Napoleonic Wars using 6mm figures. Control a corps of soldiers and see if your troops can defeat the enemy in this encounter.
November 1: Stone Age Hunt for Megafauna. Join HMGS Great Lakes for a traditional hunt – for Ohio Megafauna of the early Holocene era! Using a lightly modified rules set from Wiley Games, your hunting band of 54mm miniatures will try to get some meat for the feast and maybe salt some away for winter. It's Man against Beast in the Stone Age!
December 6: TBD
