With new Royal Mail rates coming into force on 1 January 2021, Fighting 15s has been looking at the changes and how different items are handled by the online shopping cart. We have now introduced a delivery class for flags, allowing these items to be sent using cheaper letter and large letter rates both within the UK and internationally, provided that flags are the only items in an order....

Customers in the 27 member states of the EU will not be able to place an order in the Fighting 15s shop from 14 December 2020 until 1 January 2021. Shipping options for EU countries are temporarily disabled. This temporary suspension of service avoids a potential double-charging of VAT as the Brexit transition period comes to an end. At this time of year, we cannot now guarantee to cast, pack and dispatch orders to arrive on or before 31 December 2020....
Reworked 40mm Greek hoplite leaders
Work on remastering the 40mm former Flashing Blade range continues at Fighting 15s with reworked versions of the Greek hoplite leaders. We’ve made new moulds and sorted out the issues with the fit of the arms in the shoulder joints.
The codes for the leader are now:
GRK001 Greek hoplite leader with spear at rest
GRK002 Greek hoplite leader with sword
GRK003 Greek hoplite leader with raised spear
Figures are £3.50 each inc VAT. They are supplied with a random helmet crest and a choice of shield arms, although the outstretched arm works best with GRK001.
Fighting 15s now stocks a select range of premium laser-cut 3mm-thick MDF bases from Warbases. The bases are ideal for many ancients to Renaissance games, and therefore for the Gladiator Miniatures line of 15mm figures, and for our own Martian Empires game.
Sizes available and quantities per pack are 40mm x 15mm in 24s, 40mm x 20mm in 20s, 40mm x 30mm in 18s, and 40mm x 40mm in 16s. Packs cost £1.75 each including VAT.
The bases are listed both under Gladiator Miniatures and Martian Empires in the online shop.
Warbases is a business we’ve used many times in the past and we like the quality of their products and respect their professionalism. We’d rather use them than start running a laser cutter for the first time and risk burning down the workshop.
British 15mm paper flags for the War of Spanish Succession are now available in the Fighting 15s shop. The flags cover both the pre-1807 Union and post-1807 Union variants for the regiments of foot.
The range comprises 24 different sheets, each depicting the Colonel’s, Lieutenant-Colonel’s and Major’s colours for four regiments, making 12 flags per sheet. Each sheet costs £4.00 including VAT.
The flags sheets are mainly listed according to the regiment numbers later adopted, with the regimental names listed in the full description. For example, sheet F101 includes flags for the Earl of Orkney’s regiment (later 1st Royal Scots), Sir Henry Bellasis’ (The Queen Dowager’s) regiment (later 2nd foot), Charles Churchill’s regiment (later 3rd foot) and Henry Trelawny’s (The Queen’s Own) regiment, later 4th foot. The sheet is identified in the shop as 1st to 4th foot to avoid a massive product title.
The flags partner our Gladiator Miniatures 15mm wargames figures for the Marlburian period. They are particularly suited to the newly remastered WSS003 Infantry Command I, a multi-national pack for all non-French infantry.
