And one more new RedBox
RedBox have now added yet another new set to their future release lineup. To match their existing Napoleonic announcements, this one is entitled Russian Line Infantry 1805-08. While no release date is known, our expectation is that these sets will not be too long in coming if past performance is anything to go by. |
