July 10th - via: kickstarter.com
I made a copy and paste error when I was setting up the new $50 pledge level. It should read that you get 8 dragoons at the $50 level, and not 6 dragoons (which is the reward at the $36 pledge level). The error has been fixed. So a $50 pledge gets... (Read More)
Typo on the $100 Pledge Level Is Fixed
