The Blaze Away Story
We are a part-time enterprise run by four blokes with a
passion for wargaming. Yes, we run from a garage. But it is a
very nice garage. We are committed to
make Blaze Away strong and long lasting. Our initial outlook
is to work more as a service for wargamers and collectors. The
name was inspired by one of our fellow gamers Dan, who would
invite his opponents to blaze away on their firing turn. It
also inspired the name of the free
WWII rules available on this site.
We live and work in Darwin,
Northern Territory. Which, geographically, is a long way from
pretty much everywhere. But its a great place and with the
World Wide Web we are only a click away from anywhere!
We plan to keep adding
more and more to our ranges depending on popularity and what
we'd like to use ourselves. We also know that wargamers like
to build units and armies efficiently and at discount. The
Skirmish, Battalion and Army Builder options give the flexibility and
price to please most of you.
The scale is nominally 28mm,
but we now offer the 15mm Cannon Fodder Miniatures lines that
will also continue expanding. As
we've picked up some older ranges, and commissioned a
few new ones, the sculpting styles and sizes do vary. The
images should give a good indication of the figure quality and
we've added a small note saying what other manufacturers are
compatible.
The model ships are all designed
for 25mm/28mm figures and the decks and useful surface areas
are all given room to comfortably fit your figures. As these
are ships designed for gaming, the Bilge-Rat (his mysterious identity), makes ships that
would be 2
feet long in true 1/48 scale - a much more practical 9-12
inches to accommodate the physical limitations of gaming
tables and yet still have stunning visual effect and
practicality.
Are names are Jon,
James, Michael & the
Bilge-Rat so you may come in contact with any one of us over
time.
Note on
customer suggestions
We appreciate all feedback - but
please don't be offended or upset if we don't act upon all
your specific requests for new poses and ranges. Our time and
focus is limited at this stage and our plans for adding new
ranges extends out 6-12 months in advance.
