Close to the end of this batch of Spanish flags now. Again, this is of an unknown unit and it was captured by the French at the battle of Ter in Catalonia in 1694, according to the Triomphes.
Being a uniform and flag design service to wargamers and to the imaginary crowned heads of 17th and 18th Century Europe, especially of the Seven Years War period - now By Appointment to the Court of Saxe-Bearstein! (But please note that the uniforms and flags presented here are not fictional - they are genuine 17th and 18th Century uniforms and flags that are as authentic as I can make them from my sources.)
Wow, now that is very snazzy but very complicated too, so well done on bringing this to life as it were. Good to know this post appeared in my Reading List this morning:).
ReplyDeleteThank you, Steve. Snazzy indeed! :-) Yes, this Blogger annoyance is very frustrating and I have been trying the Feedburner thing recommended by Jon Freitag. It may be helping, I think!

These Spanish flags are really interesting and complex. Yes, this post appeared in my blogroll too. Success!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jon. How lucky we are that all these flags were captured by the French and then illustrated by them. If only everyone else had been so diligent! :-) Thanks too for all your advice to us Bloggers on tackling this new Blogger annoyance. Google should be paying you!

I NEED to paint more Spanish! Can you please stop posting all these nice flags, David, Its gonna cost me a fortune!
ReplyDeleteHa ha! Yes, of course you need/must/want to paint more Spanish! No life is at all complete without many more Spanish troops (50 battalions minimum plus umpteen squadrons too - haven't done the cavalry standards yet...). Everyone knows that! ;-) Actually, you are safe for the moment as I shall be posting only one more flag from the Triomphes next and then it's back to the Dutch (you know you need more Dutch!) and British SYW. :-)
