Raising the Standard

Flags of The Mexican-American War now available from Battle Flag

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.

Using the same superlative artwork Battle Flag have also released the range in both 15mm & 28mm (The Battle Flag range are also now the official range of Mexican-American flags for First Corps excellent range of 28mm wargame figures).

Available now on our now familiar style of Collectors sheet the U.S. Regular Infantry plate is given added impact with a contemporary picture of General Winfield Scott and a facsimile of his signature.

The Flags of Montrose's Irish Brigade (Part Two)

Having now gotten my hands on the excellent little booklet, Scots Armies of the 17th Century. The Royalist Armies 1639-46 by Stuart Reid I have spent the last few days working on the flags of Montrose's Irish.

The second sheet of wargame flags in the series is now ready and carries the image of Montrose and the quotation from,My Dear and Only Love, which will be a feature of these particular sheets of model flags to help identify them in listings etc.

This particular sheet includes the blue flag with the Virgin and child crushing the head of a serpent and the white flag bearing a blood red crucifix in the Irish style.

My reasoning for the Celtic Cross rather than a simple Crucifix is that having grown up near an  old Chapel in County Tyrone I remembered the  graveyard was full of Celtic crosses rather than the standard crucifix. So would it not make sense to have this style of Cross emblazoned on the Standard of Irish soldiers of the 17th Century. It certainly gives the flag a lot more flair.

You can see the previous sheet in the series HERE

The Standard of the 1st Texas Infantry From Battle Flag.

The first Confederate promo figure is now finished. As is now becoming the norm with Battle Flag ACW promo pics the figure is from the excellent Perry Miniatures 28mm range.

Representing a standard bearer of the 1st Texas Infantry charging with the colours. Known as the Wigfall it was made by Lula Wigfall, daughter of the regiment's first colonel, Louis T. Wigfall, and was presented to the 1st Texas in the summer of 1861.

As the battle honors attest, the 1st Texas fought under this flag throughout the Peninsula Campaign. The Texans carried it through the battle of Second Manassas in August 1862 and on into Maryland during Lee's first invasion of the North.

At the Battle of Antietam, in Miller's cornfield  the 1st Texas suffered 82.3 percent casualties, being the highest number of killed and wounded suffered by any single unit North or South in a single action during the entire war. During the battle no less than nine men fell carrying this flag. When the ninth standard bearer was killed, the flag was lost. It was picked up from among the Texas dead by a Union soldier. 

The "Wigfall" standard from Battle Flag is from the Hoods Texas Brigade set. The set comes as a plate sheet  and contains no less than 11 standards. The battle flags and standards for 1st Texas, 4th Texas, 5th Texas , 18th Georgia, 3rd Arhansas, Hamptons Legion are all beautifully represented and are a superb addition to anyone who wargames or collects Hood's Texas Brigade. The set is available as a plate in 15mm, 25/28mm and as a two plate set in 54mm from Battle-Flag.com.

New 25mm English Civil War Flags from Battle Flag. The Irish in the Service of the King

I got to see some of the excellent English Civil War Irish figures from Warlord Games Pike & Shotte range of miniatures the other week and, being from the fair isle of Erin myself, was immediately inspired to create a series of wargame flags for my ancestral forefathers who fought for King and Country in Englands Civil War.

Bring on the Irish Charge!
