What is 'Miniaturisation'?

A blog dedicated to wargaming in truly miniature scale (1/285 or 6mm or smaller). Miniatures at the smaller scale are cheap to buy, fast to paint, easy to store and carry around, intricate and often amazingly detailed. Scales like 6mm or even 3mm allow you to game truly significant land battles without a 'panzer parking lot' effect and with more scope for tactical manoeuvre. Smaller scales are vital for air battles (for instance Check Your 6! or AirWar21 and naval battles. For games at a platoon+ level, 15mm provides the right combination of detail and miniature 'individualism' with something close to a believable ground scale. I'm still happy to play at 28mm for skirmish games (which I'd define as small scale combats usually at section+ level and involving individual miniature activation) and so you might find the occasional 28mm miniature on this blog. However - 6mm is the best scale, so that's what will fill most pages of this blog.
