Title: Status of Man at War Miniatures Games - 18mm figures and rules?
Post by: Major Tom on July 24, 2017, 03:26:30 PM

Hi, does anyone know whether this company is still trading? Their website is active but they don't have any available products listed.

I've googled about and found the rules were due a reprint but there isn't any recent information that I can find.

Cheers

Title: UPDATE - Status of Man at War Miniatures Games - 18mm figures and rules?

Quick update, I managed to find out that the rules and figure ranges were bought by a Swiss company called Cibo's Little Dudes.

The old figures are available again and the owner is adding new figures to complete the old ranges.  From a recent post on a blog I found it looks like the new figures (by a different sculptor) are stockier and a bit taller, closer to 20mm.  Comparison photographs on Mike Hobbs' blog below.
