More good news from the Perrys

It shouldn’t come as any surprise that the next box would always be Austrians to fight the French. The first set is dedicated to the German regiments of the Austrian Army and will cover options for either Fusiliers or Grenadiers in the same box. You will be able to build them either as marching or attacking. The first of the ‘3ups’ is heading for tooling. Alan is also working on a metal range of Austrians and is adding to the French.
