High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Axis & Allies Miniatures is a miniature wargaming system including both a rule set and a line of 1/100 scale miniature armor 15 mm figure scale collectible miniatures. The game is set in the World War II era with units representing individual vehicles and artillery or squads of infantry. The system was first released in 2005 and is currently produced by Avalon Hill, a division of the game company Wizards of the Coast, which itself is a subsidiary of Hasbro. Aimed at the collectible miniatures game market, the title Axis & Allies drew on that game's historic strength and notoriety. However, the miniature game bears little resemblance to the widely sold board games and other Axis & Allies items. Instead of a game of grand strategy, the miniatures game focuses on the tactical battle, with units fielded on either side of the battle being rarely greater than a company. Individual models are representative of a squad of infantry, infantry weapon team, artillery piece, vehicle, or aircraft.
