Yes, I've got quite a few. I like them, although I get the plain ones as the 'effect' is a bit artificial, to my eye. Don't buy the self adhesive ones unless you want them to stick to everything except the flagpole. I've never used the cloth ones, although they're reported to be good too.

Yes, all my SYW are on the paper flags and I’ve bought the material flags for my French Naps. They’re brilliant

Thanks guys. What size did you go for?
They have flags for units I’m doing that gmb don’t.
Plus I’m wondering why I’m paying £4 for three inches of printer paper.

I believe Mr Maverick will resize for you.

Wasn't there a thread recently about flag size? My Gateway flags are 40mm square on 28/30mm figures.

To only slightly misquote James McNeil Whistler: you aren't paying it for three inches of printer paper, but for the knowledge gained in the work of a lifetime.

My troops don’t need this. They just die to a man or wander off the table edge.

I get that but perhaps not in the case of SYW stuff.
And I’ve bought 15+ flag sets off them already so he’s alright lol
