The Loose Association of Wargamers

Great looking game! Splendid armies.

Cheers,

David.

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.

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.
