Miniatures Events

Portland, Santa Barbara, and Newport Beach Rooms

Do you ever wonder: What if George Washington had won the Battle of Long Island, or Custer’s 7th Calvary hadn’t been wiped out at Little Big Horn? In miniature wargaming, players enact simulated battles using scale models called miniature models, which can be anywhere from 2 to 54 mm in height, to represent warriors, vehicles, artillery, buildings, and terrain. These models are colloquially referred to as miniatures or minis.

The Miniatures rooms are open from Friday thru Monday 5 pm. If you see an open table, please speak to the GREEN SHIRT in the room before taking it.

A few civilian ships have been stranded after a failed FTL jump — their engines crippled and power reserves fading. Galactica has dispatched a squadron of Vipers and Raptors to defend the helpless vessels and get them back online before the Cylons arrive. But the Cylons are already here.

In this Voidfighter scenario, players command Colonial Vipers, Raptors, and Cylon Raiders in a desperate rescue and assault mission. The Colonials must escort their Raptors as they dock with the stranded ships to complete critical repairs, while the Cylons seek to destroy or capture the survivors. Expect fast-paced dogfights, tactical maneuvers, and cinematic space combat inspired by Battlestar Galactica.

This event accommodates up to 6 players and uses the Voidfighter ruleset, with customized stats and mission objectives for the Battlestar Galactica universe. No prior experience needed — rules will be taught.

Two teams of condemned combat drivers will face off in a gladiatorial-style battle-race, infamously known as the Wayside Death Rumble.

It is the zenith of the Dominion War, and the loss of life is catastrophic. However, a provisional cease-fire has been reached. At the historic site of Camp Khitomer, peace talks soon begin between the Federation, the Klingon Empire, the Romulan Star Empire and the Dominion.

A restricted escort of starships from each faction has transported their representative entourages to the conference. As per accord terms, all ships must then withdraw to the boundary of Khitomer’s solar system before the talks commence.

The summit has been shrouded in absolute secrecy, yet somehow the Borg Collective is aware. As the last escort ship takes position, a transwarp conduit appears on the edge of the system, a fleet of Borg vessels emerging from the aperture, on course straight for Planet Khitomer. If the ambassadors, high-ranking military and faction leaders are assimilated, the devastation that will follow will be immeasurable.

The Borg must be stopped by any and all means possible.
