Axis & Allies Miniatures was a miniature wargaming system including both a rule set and a line of 1/100 scale miniature armor (15 mm figure scale) collectible miniatures played on hexagonal maps. The game is set in the World War II era with units representing individual vehicles and artillery or squads of infantry.
Each unit in the game has a point value. Before the game is started the players determine how many points they will use, usually 100 points. The object of the game (usually) is to capture and hold an objective on the map until the end of the seventh round. The objective, however, is flexible and any number of other scenarios can be played.
The game rules are very simple and easy to learn. It is not bogged down by complicated rules. Later on, with the expanded rules, more rules came into effect, but they were optional. One especially compelling game mechanic, is the concept of simultaneous battle. In many miniatures games a group of units will approach and destroy an opposing unit removing it immediatelly. In A&A Miniatures, the destroyed units are not immediately removed but instead they are removed in a seperate phase of the game round. This gives the destroyed units a chance to return fire to their attackers.
Το Axis & Allies Miniatures ήταν ένα παιγνίδι με κανόνες για μάχες τακτικού επιπέδου στον Δεύτερο Παγκόσμιο Πόλεμο. Η κλίμακα του παιγνιδιού ήταν στα 15 χιλιοστά. Οι φιγούρες ήταν πλαστικές και βαμμένες.
Κάθε μονάδα είχε πόντους. Πριν από κάθε παιγνίδι οι παίκτες συμφωνούσαν για το πόσους πόντους θα έπαιζαν. Συνήθως το όριο ήταν 100 πόντοι. Αργότερα υπήρξαν κανόνες που επέτρεπαν και μεγαλύτερες μάχες. Ο σκοπός του παιγνιδιού ήταν οι παίκτες να πιάσουν τους αντικειμενικούς στόχους και να τους κρατήσουν μέχρι το τέλος του έβδομου γύρου.
Οι κανόνες ήταν εύκολοι, γρήγοροι και κατανοητοί. Με τα expanded rules εισήλθαν και κάποιοι επί πλέον κανόνες αλλά ήταν προαιρετικοί. Ένα από τα χαρακτηριστικά γνωρίσματα του παιγνιδιού ήταν η αμοιβαία ανταλλαγή πυρών. Σε πολλά παιγνίδια συνήθως η μία μονάδα πλησιάζει και καταστρέφει στον γύρο της την εχθρική μονάδα. Στο Axis & Allies Miniatures οι μονάδες αντάλλασαν πυρά ταυτόχρονα και οι απώλειες έφευγαν σε δική τους φάση.
Υπήρξαν συνολικά τρία αρχικά πακέτα και εννέα επεκτάσεις.
