| | Miniatures game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Miniatures games are a form of wargame in which a battle is played out using small figures to represent the units involved. | | | Whether all the game rules achieve this is debatable. | | | However, the defining feature of a miniatures game as opposed to a board game in which the pieces are miniatures is that there is no board. |

| | What Is a Miniatures Game? |
| | These games are more involved and take longer than skirmish games, but they provide a great spectacle and a tactical challenge. | | | Depending on the game you are playing, one miniature may represent one soldier, 10 soldiers, or occasionally 50 soldiers. | | | Skirmish games are commonly fought on 4-foot by 4-foot tables, while mass battle games favor 4-foot by 8-foot tables. |

| | A miniatures game is really just a wargame, and most wargamers like their rules to be fairly complex, so they can model reality a bit closer than simpler rules can. | | | The first big difference from other miniatures games is in the components. | | | It's a good game, but it doesn't pretend to be a simulation. |
