Included with museum admission.

Attention military history buffs and those interested in miniature games: Join 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 have done anything differently if you were in the general’s shoes and see how your battle plans work out!

If you can’t make it this time, no worries. We will have another scenario to play the first Sunday of next month!*

*We will not have a game in April because the museum will be closed.

Sun. March 1, starting at Noon:

Setting: Scarif - Star Wars Universe

Join as the Imperial and Rebel fleets decide the fate of a galaxy far, far away in battle above the planet of Scarif, as seen in the movie Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

One of the newer additions was the tabletop miniatures game Star Wars Armada from Fantasy Flight Games, which allows players to simulate the large-scale combats between starships and space fighters that fans have enjoyed in every film of the franchise.

From 1978 to 2000, this company, named for the location of its original headquarters on Kenner Street in Cincinnati, held the exclusive license for all Star Wars toys, games and crafts. By 1985, after the release of the original trilogy of movies, Kenner had produced over 250 million units of its most popular product, the basic 3-3/4 inch action figures. Be sure to check out the Ohio History Connection's collection of Kenner Star Wars toys, located in the map room!
