Regimental Colours

7YW Flags

Reviewed by Craig Martelle

This is filling up nicely. I won't review them as I want The Gauntlet to remain unbiased. Of course, I think they are the best and most complete line on the market today, but I do all the artwork for Regimental Colours flags. If anyone else would like to review Regimental Colours flags, drop me a line at 1203 English Bluffs Ct, Brandon, FL 33511.

But here's what Hal Thinglum said in MWAN #90: "Wow! We've never had it so great as regards wargames flags. This is a new company - 1416 Forsyth Way, Brandon, FL 33511 and they offer very high quality color flags in 25mm for the SYW, one of my personal favorite periods, as you know! Well, where do I start? I don't have a listing so I'll have to describe samples they sent. First of all, the Prussians: Colors for regiments 49-55 as well as colors for Garrison Regiments NR I-IX (beautiful flags!). They also sent regimental and King's Colors for Prussian regiments 34, 35, and 55. This next one is something I've not seen previously - "torn" colors for the 23rd Prussian Regt! I might have a little trouble cutting this one out, but I'm going to give it try! Very nice! No Prussian horse: for the Cuirassier Regt's 5 and 6 they offer both regimental and King's colors; for the Dragoons, again regt and King's colors for 10, 11, and 12th regt's as well as "torn" colors. Provided for the French were nine flags for the following regt's: Royal, Poitou, Lyonnais, Dauphin, Gondrin, and Touraine. For the first three, they offer "torn" colors. Now the Russians, of which I have quite a few units without flags! Colonel's, Lt Col., and "torn" colors for Kievski, Vyborgski, Pskovski, Arkhangelogorodski, Astrakhanski, Azovski, Novgorodski, and 1st Regt of Grenadiers. Color is outstanding with these beautiful flags! You just need to cut them out, put Elmer's white glue on the back, and place them on the flag to dry. Prices are $5 for 25mm and $3.50 for 15mm with nine flags per sheet. Highly recommended!"
