Roughs of Bavarian War of the Spanish Succession Flags to gauge interest...

This is a tentative post to gauge interest - I know there are already a few people out there who will be interested.

If enough people respond I'll make sure I export these at a higher resolution and will try to work on some more, including possibly some of those Leibfahnen with their fiddly and complicated Madonnas!

  2. These really look very good indeed - very pleasing. From left to right, top to bottom.these look (to me!) like the colours for the Kurprinz, Bettendorf, Leibregiment and the 4th one is suitable for a number of units - Octfort, Spielberg usw.

  4. Interest piqued here for sure David, but personally I would use them for my ImagiNations armies, mainly because I've always liked the designs:).

  5. :-) We do our best to lure people into the labyrinth of 18th century flags - from which there is no escape. Hahahahahha... ;-)

  7. I love those flags, although it is a bit complicated to judge which regiment carried it (I am a Bavarian and researching for nearly 5 years on this subject), but, please, go on with the Leibfahnen.

    1. Thank you! :-) The Leibfahnen are on my To Do list, although I do not have very good or clear graphic details of the flags. If you can point me to some good images of WSS Bavarian Leibfahen, I would be grateful; thanks!

      Cheers,

      David,

      All the best,

      David.

    2. the hoffman, i found it at Partizan press, the pages are in colour format A5, there is unfortunately no text but it gives a general idea of the army of the blue king, it is composed of 44 plates. one can also find them in A4 on the net. the Manley (published by on military matters) is almost exclusively text with some diagrams in black and white, it covers the period of the war of the Austrian succession. it presents tables with the distinctive colours, ...
