The
Textured Flag Pole
This
was the voting poll (not the flag pole) which asked which flags were preferred
by viewers.
he
poll asked "which style of flag do you prefer", either the textured of
the plain style.
(click
on it to see it a little larger)
I was
a little surprised at the result. Many viewers have asked in the past for
plain flags because they are easier to modify (something we encourage).
However, in the four months this pole ran, we received 3,247 individual
votes. The result were 64% in favor of the textured flag style.

I've
uploaded some of the photos from the Blenheim
2004 game played at Enfilade gaming convention last may (2004)
in Washington. Most of the battalions and regiments in this game are flagged
with paper flags from this site. This is a nice shot or two of 3,600 wargame
figures on a 36' table.

Alex
Pil has contributed some beautiful textured flags from medieval Europe.
I have just uploaded his Medieval Belgian flags into the appropriate section.
Don't go just by the low quality image used on this page - which is just
a sample - but be sure and check them out in higher resolution under the
medieval section.

Time
for some updates: I've been working on my own Franco Prussian War 15mm
figures and have decided to correct some flags I had uploaded for this
war. I had originally used the flag given in the Terence Wise book - Military
Flags of the World. I was subsequently told that these were in fact inaccurate
and I have therefore started to put a more correct version of the flags
online. The 1st Corps has been corrected and the rest will follow.

A
set of beautifully drawn hand painted flags from Dietmar Reddig in Hanover.
Dietmar has created all the foot regiment's flags from 1759 - but many
of which can be used throughout the 18th century. Dietmar has access to
local museums and libraries which has helped in his research.
Hopefully we will see more flags from Dietmar
in the future.
They can be found in the Seven Years War
section by navigating the "The Flags" link in the upper right.

It's time for me to consider what it costs
to run Warflag as the annual dues come up. I'd be very interested to find
out how you all feel about the banners at the top of the pages. Please
take a moment to view the poll on the left had side (down a little) and
vote.
This
is one of 190 hand painted French flags of the Wars of Louis XIV avaialble
from the Warflag Yahoo groups. Join by clicking the links on the right
hand side of this page. These were painted and painstakingly uploaded by
Gilles
Boué from Paris. Eventually we will get these downloaded and
posted the main site - but for now, they can be found in the photos section
of the Warflag Group.

Someone
on a news group asked about the WSS Bavarian Grenadier Cavalry squadron.
I happened to have recently made a flag for this and had uploaded it and
another Bavarian Guard cavalry standard to the site. As I had made the
flag, but to my knowledge, no one makes a figure for these in 25mm, I thought
I'd explain how I converted a couple of Old Glory cavalry from their Wars
of Marlborough line. I took the heads off of a couple of old Foundry Grenadiers.
These are also OOP so you could use a grenadier from the same OG range,
but the front of the bearskin is not quite right - it has a low cloth panel
on the front. This can easily be filed off and the front blended into the
bear fur with a bit if "green stuff".

I
haven't done a lot to the site in the last few months as I have been busy
with my Blenheim Wargame project. However, that project required me to
get the Hanoverian army done, so of course - I needed the flags. The first
batch have been uploaded to the WSS section.

Hungarian
War of 1848 - now there's a war you don't see gamed often - but you
can get the flags here. These are a contribution from billh512002
on the Yahoo Warflag Group. See the rest of them in the 19th Century European
Wars Section.
Uploaded Napoleonic French Infantry Fanions
from Tinkerer_99 from the Yahoo Groups. These can be found in the
Napoleonic section for those looking for a bit of variety in Flagging the
French.
Also uploaded some Seven Years War Austrian
flags from Chris Reynier.

| April 2003
No
real changes to the site recently, although a lot of flags have been added
to the Yahoo news group files page. Please see the Yahoo Groups link on
this page and search for new flags. I have been creating a number of flags
such as this Hanoverian flag while working on the Blenheim project (see
below) and will upload them sometime in the near future.
Please also note that my e-mail address

Updated
the statistics page. Not much in the way of flags were added during June
as I have been busy on our Blenheim 2002 project. In 2004 on the 300th
year anniversary of the battle of Blenheim, we will be attempting to re-create
the battle in 28mm figures, with all the battalions and Squadrons present.
To take a look at this project visit here
and feel free to join our Yahoo group on the project, even if you are not
taking part, you may wish to observe the project evolve.

For
those of you make armies for Blenheim of the War of Spanish Succession,
you may wish to obtain the CD from Robert Hall. It is available through
Dan
Schorrs's fantastic website in the U.S. and also in from Peter
Berry's site in the U.K. who also produces 6mm figures for this
period. Also check out both of these sites for tremendous historical information
and painting guides. This example is the regimental and colonel's color
from the French Regiment Greder Allemand and is one of the flags on CD1.
The CD is in a PDF format, so to make a flag, it is necessary to cut (ALT
+ PRINT SCREEN) and paste (CNTL + V) the image to windows paint,
and cut out the unwanted part of the image, and make a mirror image.
The CD provides all the colors for all the French regiments as well as
all known uniform details from many sources, The CD is tremendous value
at $50. |

Uploaded
the the first of "The Military
History of Eugene of Savoy". This book from 1736 presents the history
of Eugene and Marlborough, but for this web project, will just contain
those pages on Eugene during the War of the Spanish Succession. The fist
upload takes us from The Battle of Chiari to the Battle of Hochstet (Blenheim).
I will add more pages in time. I don't
know how popular this sort of project will be, so I would appreciate feedback
if you enjoy this project.

A
series of hand painted flags from an anonymous donator
who will only identify himself as 'Agent_X' who has been a wargamer for
23 years and has won many trophies for his figure painting all across the
UK. His particular interest is the 16th to 18th Centuries , particularly
the ECW and Italian Wars. These are Later Italian Wars flags and can be
found in the renaissance section of the website. They provide an interesting
and very artistic alternative to the hard lines of the computer drawn flags.

The
Samurai section has been updated to the new format. These 65 Samurai
banners and standards were created by Wayne Ko. They are presented as single
sided images. They can easily be turned into banners or Shimonos as required
by manipulating them in a simple graphics program, such as Microsoft Paint
that comes with Windows. These flags' sources have been referenced by Wayne
on the Samurai selection pages, as well as instructions for printing.
The
Pirates page has been updated to the new format. What with all the new
28 mm flags and Ships available, this should be an interesting period.
For the big battle game, don't overlook larger actions involving mid or
early 17th century figures against more regular troops stationed in the
Caribbean. Of particular note are the early Spanish available from The
London War Room.

The pages for some of the flags have been
updated to the newer style (with the yellow panel). There are a couple
more sections to complete. The we will be uploading some wonderful medieval
flags from and Alex Pil of Belgium and Chris Reynier of Monaco. Beaucoup
de mercis à nos amis francophones.
Please
visit our sponsors. Without their contribution, and that of the
artists, Warflag would be a mere shadow of itself.

Medieval
Burgundy. A splendid set of excellently drawn flags from Christopher
Reynier has just been uploaded. This sample is a reduced thumbnail, so
check out the directory for the full sized drapeaux in all its splendor.
Christopher is from the Principality of
Monaco, but lives now in Paris. He has taken the old Burgundian flags in
the medieval section, transformed some and completely re-done the rest
and added a few more. You can find the flags by selecting Burgundy from
the Medieval section, and following the appropriate links.

miniatures. There is no charge for them.
The flags
are historically accurate where I have found sufficient information and
historically plausible where I have not. The Site should be viewed at 800
DPI or better with Netscape or Explorer set to 16 bit color.
The flags
are the result of several years work and grew as a result of producing
flags for my own armies and for those of friends. There are also some significant
contributions from viewers.
