This is the web site of the Old Dominion Military Society (ODMS), a Wargaming club in Hampton Roads. We have been in existence for two decades, and continue to meet locally on a weekly basis and attend a number of wargaming conventions together. Members have since moved on, and still participate from around the Country, and around the World.

This Day In History
|
Old Dominion Military Society (ODMS) is a loosely knit club of wargamers that have been gaming together for several decades. Ever since the late 1980s we have met, weekly, on Thursday nights to play games, discuss the hobby, and share information concerning miniatures, rulesets, history, and figure painting.
Starting in 2009, we have been hosting our gaming conventions, beginning with the 2009 Williamsburg Muster. Now we host a convention every six months, Williamsburg Muster each February, and Guns of August each August. Both in Williamsburg, Virginia. Click on the Convention tab, to the left, for information.

ODMS currently meets at least twice a week for gaming, at different locations.
ODMS meets Thursday nights at the Hangar, the nickname of a very spacious gaming room belonging to one of the club members, in Hampton Virginia. The address of the hangar is:
228 Springdale Way
Hampton, VA 23666
(757) 826-5255
Map available at Google Maps
The Hangar is owned by the owner operator of Miniatures of Chesepeake, who is also a member of ODMS. Carl Sciscio (owner) is kind enough to sponsor our Thursday meetings there.
ODMS meets Tuesday nights at World's Best Comics, a comic book store that merged with our historical home (Campaign Headquarters) many years back. They have TONS of open gaming space and sell all sorts of gaming materials.
9714 Warwick Blvd
Newport News, VA 23601
(757) 595-9005
Map available at Google Maps
World's Best Comics is owned by Bob Mitchell, a long time gamer himself, who is more than happy to help you out with gaming purchases, or to direct you to the many gaming groups that meet and play in the store.
The best way to GET in touch with ODMS is either to attend a weekly meeting at World's Best Comics, or at the Hangar. Or you can just email the webmaster of the club website for information.
