RedBox - Russian Guard Infantry

[Paul]

[Erich von Manstein]

Any news about when the next RedBox releases will hit the shelves?

I think that this is first Napoleonic set from Red Box. I'm I right? I hope there are more to come.

Yes, you are right.
And in my opinion a well composed set. A good firing line, three loading poses!
The other two will be Russian light and Pavlov, if I remember well.
To be honest this set quite surprises me. Only three marching figures in a box, but one can always use the old Hat 1806 set for this. Although I have my doubts if the two will mix well, Redbox being slender and Hat a bit chunky.
Still: looking forward to the other two. Will probably buy a few, although not suitable for Borodino/1812.
But who knows? Redbox do periods quite extensive.
(who knows? Perhaps Strelets will make them too in 2020; one can dream...)

Looks very promissing. I can only agree with Marc.

[MABO]

Oh, and thanks for sharing, Paul!!!

The lack of more marching figures is a pity, but it´s really a wonderful set of figures. I appreciate especially their varities of loading and attack poses. They are far better than the former existing set which won´t suits to the new figures.
I am happy that we will have soon the right russian-troops for Austerlitz and some more battles.

I did make a mistake: the other Russian infantry sets are musketeers instead of light infantry (remember the other Hät set, with the typical hat and a more chunky style). Line musketeers don’t have a huge plume like the guard.
The other is indeed Pavlov regiment with the mitre.
