IntroductionAxis & Allies Miniatures gives both novice wargamers and veteran grognards the ability to engage in historically authentic, squad-level, tactical combat with detailed, 15mm(ish) scale, pre-painted plastic miniatures, featuring varying degrees of rarity to enhance collectibility.
A single skirmish can be played in under an hour, or, players can advance their custom-constructed squad through a meat grinder of combat, battling from the hedgerows of Brittany to the steps of the Reich Chancellery.
Roll across the battlefield and on to victory. Amass an unstoppable fighting force of tanks, troops, artillery, aircraft and more. Challenge your friends to fast, head-to-head, skirmish combat. Recreate historical battles from World War II. Ready to play; no painting, no prepping.
This high-quality skirmish game is playable right out of the box. With these faithful reproductions of real WWII combat vehicles and fighting units, you can recreate historical battles from World War II with authentic Shermans, Panzers, infantry, and more! Or create your own battles!
Scale VariationsThe first five sets available in the game are in the original scale. In 2006, Wizards of the Coast changed the scale of the minis. All future expansions will be in 15mm scale.
12mm Scale ExpansionsBase Set
(48 minis, released 2005)
The core for your War - troops, tanks, and more that form the basic building blocks for the game.
Set II

The assault on Fortress Europe begins with D-Day. Highlighting units and nations involved in Operation Overlord – including the debut of Canadian troops – D-Day features the introduction of battlefield obstacles: immobile, non nation-specific units like pillboxes and tank traps that add to the realism of game play. Fan requested favorites like the Supermarine Spitfire and Jagdtiger also roar into action.
Reserves

Escalate with the experimental. Deploy some of the most innovative and unusual units developed for the war, scramble fast-moving jets, and establish superiority with support units. Includes fan favorites such as Ranger and Fallschirmjäger units.
