Thanks, David.

BTW flags for this conflict are difficult to locate.

Free stuff on the internet that you can download & re-size is limited & bought stuff is the wrong scale (my stuff is 20mm).

You don't know anyone making flags, do you? ;)

Coincidentally I do know someone who designs flags! How weird is that? ;-)

I did actually begin work on ECW flags in 2012 and posted one Royalist infantry set here: https://nba-sywtemplates.blogspot.com/2 ... alist.html Although I did continue to experiment on and off (I recently created a flag of Allan Apsley's Regiment for someone) I have not really been very diligent at it, partly because there did not seem to be much interest, and also because the SYW and latterly the WSS have eaten up a lot of time and energy. If there are specific ECW regiments whose flags you'd like, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Cheers,

David.

One odd thing I found about ECW flags is that the gyronny style (flags divided into segments to indicate the seniority of the company commander - eg Charles Gerrard's Foot) was unique to the Royalists.

True - as were the unique designs of the flags of Prince Rupert's Foot Regiment and of the King's Regiment.

Cheers,

David.

Rupert's Foot regiment flags are pure Art Deco - proof of time travel?????

BTW flag-wise for the ECW, I have acquired nearly all I need.
This often meant I'd name a unit not because of an OOB, or because I liked it but because I could get the correct flag.

One exception was Covenanter dragoon flags. My 2 units don't, & probably won't, have a flag. :cry:

I finished my last Royalist unit: Commanded shot.

Tillier's Regiment. Sources indicate a Green flag. I found a green flag.
Sources say green coats for "Irish" regiments - although mostly English & Welshmen, they were in Ireland at the start of the civil war. So green coat. Lining? No hint but usually white. I gave this lot red, in homage to the 60th Rifles.
