I was just looking to pick up some more nice 15mm miniatures from Warmodelling Miniatures to see that they were merged with Capitan Games (it appears). Now the Capitan Games online store seems to be not functioning and I can't even see the wonderful 15mm gunboats and sailors that they used to sell.

Anyone know if they are still in business? Are the ships, boats, and 15mm figures carried by someone else?

Thanks!

Ownership is a bit chaotic, but they are still in business. The new company will be located in the UK, and I will continue stocking them here in the US.

However, they will probably be off line a couple months while molds, masters etc. etc. get shipped to the UK.

I have decent stock at the moment:

The cost of shipping from Spain was what stopped me ordering them in the past. From the UK they may be affordable now.

Thanks folks for the update. I'll be sad to see the prices adjusted to pounds from euros. I'll have to take a look to see what you all carry in the meantime : )

and what about the 15mm and 20mm ranges?

Hi Everyone:

Sorry about our apparent disappearance from the scene. As UK agent ( Battle Models Ltd ) , I ceased my association with Warmodelling because I was unable to obtain reliable supplies from the factory. However, my colleagues at Capitan Games and I decided to set up a UK company and I'm now happy to announce that Capitan Games Ltd, that very company, are now re-furbishing the old Warmodelling moulds to commence production in the UK.

A well-known UK trader will represent us at shows and we will re-open the online shop as soon as we have our first supply of figures. That should be within the next week or so.

The process of re-stocking the entire Warmodelling range will take some time and we have decided to re-introduce the figures over a period. First will be Napoleonic British, then French Garde, then French regular and so on.

The Capitan ranges are also to be produced over here and will form part of our online shop offerings. Fortunately, these moulds are fairly new and will not need refurbishment. We have just taken delivery of the masters for our "Gunboat" miniatures range ( boat kits and figures ) but this time in 10 mm scale – which allows us to add a frigate and a sloop to the boat kits. The new lines will be demo'd at "Salute" this year with the rules updated and re-issued as "Squadron Commander". You'll still be able to get the old 15 mm figures and Gunboat rules from Caliver Books and our website.

The new company has a very extensive list of projects for the next year or so. We can be found on Facebook as capitangames and we issue a newsletter to our existing mailing list – you can join by going to: :shop.capitangames.com and a new service for our Divisional Commander tactical Napoleonic rules can be found at link

If anyone needs further information, contact us on info@capitangames.com.

Cheers,
Mike Oliver
Director – Capitan Games Ltd
