Recall we had 11 Regiments of English Foot to do. Today we have the 5th and 6th done. Above the green regiment. All Matchlock with flags from Ian KH at "This 28mm Life" blog. Thank you Ian KH.
Parliamentary General Lord Manchester had a Green Regiment. Conversely the flag above might indicate a Royalist allegiance. Let's have a closer look.
Shall we try another Green Regiment? Why not.
It occurs to me that in the heat of the game one Green Regiment's card might be mistaken for another. The wrong unit might act. How's that for the fog of war and the chaos of battle? Not the two above though, the flags are sufficiently different.
Next, the Blue Regiment. Both sides had Blue Regiments. In fact I already have a Blue Regiment of Essex figures that once rebased will join the throng.
How are we doing with the English Cavalry? Not bad at all. Mystery flags once again. I'm having no success in tracking the artist.
Here is Sir Richard Astley's Regiment of Horse at full strength, 2 squadrons.
Lord Carnarvon's Regiment of Horse. In intend to add a second squadron.
A unit of Essex figures. The simple red standard with its red and white border was used by the regiments of both Francis Thomson and George Thomson. They fought for Parliament. . A real break I didn't want to be clipping and drilling cast on flags.
Happy days.
