Cry' God for Harry, England and St. George! Battle Flag release Wargame flags for the English at Agincourt

Following on from the First Hundred Years War set of wargame flags, “The Knights of The Black Prince”, I have had a lot of requests for flag sets for Agincourt and the War of the Roses.

The good news is that not only will we be releasing flags sets for all of the major Combatants of both periods but that the first sheet of model flags for the Battle of Agincourt is ready now.

It goes without saying that the first set of wargame flags had to be for Henry V.



 Henry V is my favorite of all Shakespeare plays, what with the stirring St. Crispin’s Day speech just before the battle of Agincourt itself and the immortal line before storming the walls of Harfleur, “Cry God, for Harry, England and St. George!”

The first flag sheet for the War of the Roses will be next along with a sheet of flags bearing the Cross of St George.

I am of up to Towton to visit the battlefield this week, just for a bit of inspiration you understand; a trip which has nothing to do with the fine Yorkshire ales that will need to be imbibed to liberate the artistic juices.

New Wargame Flags of the Hundred Years War From Battle Flag

The latest set of wargame flags from Battle Flagreleased this week is from the Hundred Years War.

The banner of Edward of Woodstock, The Black Prince, takes the central position on this plate of knightly colours.

The banners are all of knights that fought with the Prince on the English right flank at The Battle of Crécy on the 26th August 1346. Richard de Beaumont ( The Prince’s standard bearer), John De Vere The Earl of Oxford, Thomas Beauchamp The Earl of Warwick, Robert Lord Neville, Richard de Beaumont, Ralph 4th Lord Bassett,  the brothers Sir Thomas Holland & Sir Otho de Holland, and Ralph Lord Stafford and his brother Sir Richard Stafford.






These banners were carried at various battles throughout the period and with no less than 11 flags on the sheet represent excellent value for the wargamer and collector of fine military miniatures and model soldiers.

Battle Flag Release Tott's Thirty Years War Swedish Cavalry Regiment in 28mm Wargame Scale

wwI have always liked the morbid imagery of the standards of the Tott Regiment. Each flag with a skull sitting on a grassy knoll set on a black field, with the Company identification detailed by whatever was springing forth from the eye sockets, very dark and dramatic. 

I am rather pleased with the artwork on these wargame flags and having spent longer painting the skulls than I intended  I thought them worthy of there own separate announcement.
You can view the rest of this weeks Thirty Years War  releases HERE.

As always the model flags are available in 25/28mm wargame scale and will be available on a 15mm multi sheet of 10 flags when I finish off the other Swedish Cavalry standards.

 Remember the actual flags are created and printed at a much higher resolution than is displayed on the website.
