Battle Flag Design the Flags for Obscure Miniatures Brand New Range of Wargame Figures

When Richard of Obscure Miniatures contacted me and asked me to create a series of flags for the belligerents of the War of the Triple Alliance, to support Obscure Miniatures superb new range of figures for Great Paraguayan War, I have to admit that up to that point it was a war that I had been ignorant of.

Obscure Miniatures must be applauded for creating a range of figures that finally gives South America’s bloodiest conflict the attention that it deserves.

The flags are available on 4 sheets each carrying the national colours of one of the countries involved in the war. All the Triple Alliance sets carry an image of the leader and the motto of that particular country; while Paraguay carries and image of Francisco Solano López Carrillo and his last defiant words, “Muero con mi patria” (“I die with my Nation”).

This post must start with a huge thank you to Jonathan M. for recommending Battle Flag to GJM to create a range of flags to compliment GJM’s superb new Gringo 40s miniatures.

Having just got of the telephone with Ged at GJM, I am pleased to announce that a new range of Mexican American War flags from Battle Flag will be released in 40mm to compliment GJM,s excellent  new range of 40mm Mex-Am War miniatures.  

Battle Flag will support the range with a full range of beautiful Regimental and National Colours for the U.S. and Mexican forces.

The first release will cover the U.S Regular Infantry and Volunteer Regiments with the Mexican forces to follow shortly.

New: After The Battle Range of Model Wargame Flags Launched in 28mm and 15mm from Battle Flag.

Following the feed back that Ernie at Architects of War, in the U.S., and Michael from First Corps, here in the UK, received from wargamers at the various shows where they promote the Battle Flag product; and numerous requests from customers for battle torn model flags I have finally achived the battle worn look I have been after for months.

Following much research and design (Trial and error complicated with the odd disaster is probably more apt terminology but  R+D just sounds better) the first sheet of the new After the Battle sets is ready.

Literally ragged, tired and torn these wargame flags are designed to look as if they have been carried into many a fray during a long and arduous campaign. The colours are faded, singed and riddled with the holes of the various forms ordnance that has been fired at the regiments during their battles.

With the added realism of battle damage these flags bring a whole new look to your battle hardened troops.
