My employer is sending me off to Wright-Patterson AFB, near Dayton, Ohio, for a class. I plan to visit the Air Force museum there, which I haven't seen in 17 years. Are there any stores selling gaming goodies in the Dayton/WPAFB area any more? Grelber |

There is a shop in Beavercreek. I think it is called The Hobby Shop ?! They have slot car races and gaming tables in the back. Good luck. If you get a chance to do the restoration hangar tour on Friday morning DO IT ! |

The Hobby Shop is in Miamisburg. Right around the corner from Wright-Pat is the Game Haven. Epic Loot is further south in Centerville. |

There is also Bookery Fantasy in Fairborn, which is close to the base. bookeryfantasy.com/gaming. Are you looking for something in particular? When will you be in town? |

A few moments of silence for The Tin Soldier. |

Amen. May it's memory rest in peace. |

Amen to that. There is also Smitty's hobby shop on Wilmington Pike in Kettering, but it is really a train and model store, with a decent paint and Woodland Scenics selection. A short drive from there is Bell, Book and Comic on Patterson Road in Dayton. It has comics, clix, card games, a good selection of dice, and some board games. |

I played my very first miniature game in the Tin Soldier. Sword and The Flame, Ral Partha Brits and Zulus. Was immediatley hooked. 33 years ago……. |

Dayton has some good hobby shops. But if you're interested at all in military aviation, it will take you three days just to do the AF Museum justice. Don't rush. |

I game regularly at The Game Haven. It's a nice little shop just a stone's throw from the AF Museum. In fact, you can see the museum from the store's front windows. |

Many thanks to all! Grelber |

I'll have to see about dropping by Game Haven sometime. I noticed it is accessable by bus,I believe it's the Rt. 1 along Airway just before the Wright State University campus,going NNE. Heard they have some FoW/Team Yankee stuff there available. |
