Napoleonic Flags

[marbotadc]

Hello everyone!

I recently bought Adler miniatures flags which are just great. Since the flags were only for the 1815 time period as of right now I was looking for different options for earlier periods. I found this website  and not sure if anyone knows about it or I am late to the party. The great thing about the website it has OOBs to certain battles and flags for other nations. Sadly, it seems the website hasn't be updated in awhile, but still I am going to try and print out the flags once I figure out the right size for 6mm.

Here are the OOB and flags for the French and Austrians at the Bataille d'Elchingen in 1805

Also earlier flags which in my opinion are absolutely beautiful. Bataille de Wattignies 1793  www.drapeaux.org/Ordres_Batailles/Wattignies_1793/index.php?planche=FR_Fromentin

Good find Michael but if you try and download the images you only get half the flag and the print from the webpage button does not function

Tim,

That is annoying! Well I just saved the flag to my pictures and tried to save a picture of both sides of the flags and it worked. So if you are good with microsoft paint you could I am guessing put both halves together to create a flag.

I found on another blog some Revolutionary Flags. These look very familiar to the drapeaux book from historie& collections I have so if anyone knows if there is some copyright issues please let me know!

I'm using the Baccus flag sheets for French infantry but the generic British ones from warflag.com but it is a shame you can't download them as a TIFF file which is better for printing when re-sized.
