The Fighting 15s online shop is now open again to EU customers. Happy new year! There are some changes: First, VAT will be deducted by the shop once it knows a customer is from the EU. Just like rest-of-the-world customers, this happens either because the geolocation software works or because a customer enters their shipping […]

With the Christmas rush over, Fighting 15s has been at work getting some new products into the online shop. The latest additions are 15mm paper flags in our orders of battle range for the Anglo-Allied Army during the 1815 Waterloo campaign. The new flags use the enhanced graphics introduced with our Austrian Seven Years War […]
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.

Four more Greek hoplites have joined the number of codes that Fighting 15s has reworked from the former 40mm Flashing Blade range.

One year ago, I stopped being the agent for AB Figures and Eureka Miniatures. Of course, baling out seemed to drag on and on, until by June I decided I’d had enough of selling off the remaining stock and that it was time to focus properly on Gladiator Miniatures, Fighting 15s, and Martian Empires.

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 […]
