Game days will require you to pay standard museum admission, which is listed on the museums website: https://www.soldiersandsailorshall.org/museum/. HINT: The annual membership is very inexpensive! https://www.soldiersandsailorshall.org/donate/#membership.

December’s Theme: The Battle of the Bulge
Pennsylvania Magazine will be attending and plans to include us in an upcoming article on historical tabletop gaming…so we will have four especially photogenic miniatures games and displays:
- Multiplayer Battle of the Bulge scenario using Avalon Hill’s Panzer Leader situation 16
2. De Bellis Antiquitatis scenario
3. Multiplayer Gettysburg day 3 game
4. Multiplayer Battle of the Bulge-themed What a Tanker game.
We will also have several Battle of the Bulge boardgames available from the museum collection, including Avalon Hill Battle of the Bulge, SPI’s Ardennes Offensive and Battles for the Ardennes, and Panzer Leader.
What is Tabletop Gaming?
Tabletop gaming is played on a table with physical pieces, as opposed to video/computer games. Tabletop gaming includes both board games with playing pieces (for example, Stratego) and miniature games. Miniature games use representative terrain game boards and miniature military figures.
