One of the more interesting and useful items to come down the pike recently is Raider Games' flag sheets for the Seven Years War. These are done in 15mm. The range is quite extensive and promises to keep growing. Extant are sheets for Austria, France, Hanover, Prussia, Russia, and the various foreign regiments in French service. Each sheet, whether infantry or cavalry, is done in black and white, and number up to forty individual flags per sheet at a cost of 50 cents per sheet. included are painting directions for specific regiments. All are well done, being taken from the fine Pengel and Hurt series, and are just the sort of laboursaving device that most modelers can appreciate. Further, after a short coloringin process via paint or ink, one's troops can have highly accurate standards better than most -people can freehand and at a minimal cost. Particularly useful are the Hanoverian sheets. These are recommended. Raider Games, 119 Elmete Way, Leeds, LS8 2ND, England. More Reviews
