WHAT IS MINIATURE WARGAMING?
Miniature wargaming is a form of wargaming in which military units are represented by miniature physical models on a model battlefield. The use of physical models to represent military units is in contrast to other tabletop wargames that use abstract pieces such as counters or blocks, or computer wargames which use virtual models. The primary benefit of using models is aesthetics, though in certain wargames the size and shape of the models can have practical consequences on how the match plays out.
Miniature wargaming is typically a recreational form of wargaming because issues concerning scale can compromise realism too much for most serious military applications. A historical exception to this is naval wargaming before the advent of computers.

There is not a piece of constructive legislation in the
world, not a solitary attempt to meet a complicated
problem, that we do not now regard the more
charitably for our efforts to get a right result from
this apparently easy and puerile business of fighting
with tin soldiers on the floor.
