Sorry I no longer sell to the EU and Northern Ireland December 11 2024

Regretfully I have indefinitely stopped sales into the EU and Northern Ireland, because I cannot comply with the EU's new GSPR legislation. However, my digital products will remain available via Wargames Vault, and in the New Year I will investigate whether I can make my print products available through a European distributor.

Final two days of sales into the EU December 09 2024

Regretfully tomorrow, 10th December, is the final day that I can sell into the EU and Northern Ireland because of the introduction of the new GSPR regulations, so if you are in the EU it is time to get that order in!

Ending of sales to the EU November 25 2024

I very much regret that, from 10th December, the BigRedBatShop will have to cease selling physical "To the Strongest!" rulebooks and other products to my customers in the EU and Northern Ireland. This is because I am unable to comply with the EU’s new GSPR legislation.

If there is anything that you need, please purchase it as soon as possible! My last day for physical sales into the EU and Northern Ireland will be 10th December. Digital products will continue to be available within the EU via Wargames Vault. 

I am greatly saddened that I will no longer be able to supply my many friends in Europe and Northern Ireland. But I will keep in touch, and will hopefully identify an EU distributor for the To the Strongest! rule books. Au revoir!

Bases restocked! November 21 2024

Almost everything is back in stock- if there's something you want that isn't there, please email me.  Cheers, Simon

End of Quarter Sale September 30 2024

I've just put all of the nice shiny Victory Medals on a short "end of quarter" sale; the might make a nice early Xmas present to yourself. 😉 I've also put the magnetic basing materials on sale, together with some of the mats and bases.

Updated Ancient Army Lists published June 04 2024

I've just published an updated version of the Ancient Army Lists, with a couple of new lists and lots more background material. If you haven't bought it yet, you can find it here.

10cm grid plains mats on promotion April 25 2024

...the larger sized mats (6'x4' and 8'x4') are roughly 10% off, for the next week or so.

New FK&P 15 base design January 17 2024

...you wait a year for new bases, and then two lots come along at the same time! This design has the same footprint as the very popular FK&P13b, but is divided into two. Each half base would take up to four sensibly-sized 28mm foot minis but I think it would also be a cracking base for 15mm or 10mm minis.

New circular command base designs in the shop January 16 2024

I've just loaded some new packs of circular command bases to the shop, in 85mm, 60mm, 40mm and 30mm diameter. These are intended to provide more versatility when basing generals and vignettes. You can find them all here. 

BigRedBatShop Christmas Break 2023 December 07 2023

Hi all, I'll be taking a break from Thursday 21st December until Tuesday 1st January, inclusive. During this time I'll send out any digital orders, but won't post physical orders. I'll be back at the coal-face on Tuesday 2nd January, and will send everything out, then. I hope that you all have a splendid Christmas break!

Christmas Break December 17 2022

I'll take a short break at Christmas and won' t be posting any orders between Wednesday 21st December and Thursday 29th December, inclusive. You can still order physical items, and I'll post them out on the 30th.I will continue to fulfil any digital orders during the period. 

I hope that everyone enjoys an excellent festive break!


Selling Digital products into the EU January 15 2021

Regrettably, because I'm a small business that isn't registered for VAT, I can no longer sell digital products into the EU. :-(  

However, I've set up a new shop on Wargames Vault so that EU customers still buy all my digital products. You'll also be able to get updates as they become available.  You can find them here!   Wargames Vault.  :-)

 

 


VAT on sales into the EU January 01 2021

Regrettably, following Brexit, customers within the EU will now need to pay VAT upon receipt of their physical goods at the local rates payable in their country. Depending upon the country, there may also be a handling fee.

I  run a small business which is not registered for VAT in the UK, so I am unable to refund VAT. :-(


US Postal Price increase June 30 2020

Prices for posting to the USA have increased in line with the UPU agreement, and, regrettably, I've had to pass them on. There doesn't appear to be a price increase on orders up to 750g, except for bulky orders. The price increase is greatest on orders between 750g and 2Kg.  Larger orders, over 2Kg, only cost a little bit more than they did, previously.  I'll work to minimise the additional cost by packing sensibly and splitting orders, where appropriate, refunding excess postage.

Imminent US Postal Price Increase June 13 2020

From July 1st, the cost of postage to the USA will increase dramatically. Royal Mail haven't published the details yet, but I hear that it could be as much as 50-100% greater than at present. So please get your US orders in by close of play on 29th of June!

Still shipping! March 24 2020

I'm very pleased to report that all at BigRedBatCave are well and will hopefully stay that way, as we are now pretty much cut off from the outside world. As a home-based business I'm still able to continue working, but I will reduce my trips to the Post Office to once or twice a week, so it is likely to take a few extra days for your order to arrive. 

I hope you all stay well, and we can meet up again in the autumn!


New army lists! March 02 2020

There is a new South Slav army list in "Medieval Balkans" and a new Middle Assyrian in "Cradle of Civilization". Enjoy!

New Medieval Balkans booklet! February 17 2020

I've just published a new booklet of army lists, called "Medieval Balkans". The nine new lists (and two existing lists that have joined them from other booklets) cover the Medieval Balkans from 1204 CE to c.1500 CE or so. The new lists have been written by "Balkan" Dave Watson, to whom I am very grateful! There are now a mighty 228 army lists. :)

You can download the new booklet from here Medieval Balkans.
