I do have a diagram of details of Provincial Regiment flags which I can email you, if you can let me have an email address; I don't have one for you. It would be best for security if you sent me it via a message through my contact form on the blog (top left).<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />David.David Morfitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09016926084467625584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133987073420297016.post-37734679417797478982015-02-19T07:16:37.712+00:002015-02-19T07:16:37.712+00:00David,

However, from what little research I've carried out they appear to have carried flags with the Savoy cross (white cross on a red background) with their own provincial coat of arms in the top right-hand corner. But don't quote me on this!<br />Nevertheless, that's how I'm drawing them.<br /><br />Steve.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13935427832006581060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133987073420297016.post-46167600950907127472015-02-18T18:45:49.152+00:002015-02-18T18:45:49.152+00:00Hi Steve,

Based upon the Sardinia/Savoy army between 1730-1755 I've been employing Stephen Manley's wargamer's guide on the subject (for the uniforms) together with your own sketches, as well as some research on the internet for the flags (quite a diffcult subject). As with all my other ImagiNations I haven't kept strictly to historical accuracy but have added my own twists here and there.<br />I hope to post a few drawings sometime on a blog.<br /><br />Steve TurnerAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13935427832006581060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133987073420297016.post-36525511052342045332015-01-14T17:28:51.176+00:002015-01-14T17:28:51.176+00:00That's OK, Steve.

I downloaded the sketch from the previous posting which was a .jpg graphic (the "coming next" posting).<br />Pays to read everything properly doesn't it?<br /><br />Anyway, I've now downloaded the correct sketches and am already at work producing my own "imagination" units for the army. They'll be a sort of cross between the earlier white coated regiments (War of the Austrian Succession) and the later blue coated designs (around 1750 or later).<br /><br />Cheers, and thanks for pointing out my mistake.<br /><br />Steve.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13935427832006581060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133987073420297016.post-55686489946627258592015-01-13T19:51:11.635+00:002015-01-13T19:51:11.635+00:00P.S.

Great though they are, unfortunately the .jpg format leave a great deal to be desired when adding colour to your basic B&W drawings.<br /><br />Anyway, here's hoping,<br /><br />Steve TurnerAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13935427832006581060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133987073420297016.post-42235974302261653382015-01-08T07:37:48.524+00:002015-01-08T07:37:48.524+00:00David
