The first edition of Fire and Fury describes rules for miniatures wargames that simulates battles of the American Civil War at the tactical (brigade) level. The rules are designed for 15 mm figures, which represent brigades — 4–6 single battalion regiments, or a brigade of cavalry, or 6–8 artillery pieces.
Miniature wargaming is a form of wargaming in which military units are represented by miniature physical models on a model battlefield. Miniature wargames are played using model soldiers, vehicles, and artillery on a model battlefield, with the primary appeal being recreational rather than functional.
Jackson commented that "Of the two sets, 'Robots' is my favorite; more imaginative, better executed, and a better buy for the money. But check out the ships if you like miniatures battles.

Wargames Factory was an American plastic miniature manufacturer that opened in 2007. It specialized in highly detailed, multi-part models in hard plastic for wargaming . Wargames Factory produced models mostly in the 28 millimetres (1.1 in) range, but did other scales as well.
Micro armour is usually differentiated from tabletop games based on human shaped heroic scale / infantry skirmish game scale figures (even if the high and low ends of each respective category overlap) because the scales used by most micro armour games are smaller (armour skirmish game scale) and the represented playing field larger - though it is not nearly as large as in naval wargaming.

Notable exceptions to the "ratio" rule are the use of 15 mm to 25 mm games that emphasise boarding actions, and thus make use of figure ranges in those scales.
