Any one know what the main color of their flag was? I'm almost finished painting them up. Help!

White, according to the 1768 reegulations. |

In 25/28mm you can get it from "Flags for the Lads" sold by Brookhurst, on sheet RB7. I bet a Google search will come up with something if you don't want to pay for it. Starting out, I used to hand paint all my flags, including Hessian and Brunswick, but I am fat, old and lazy now. Besides, FfTL does them better. |

vtsaogames, a good rule of thumb that I learned is that in most cases the regimental flag of a British unit would be the same as the facing colors of their lapels. Good luck on your project! :-) |

Sorry, my post above was a bit brief and not altogether accurate. Light dragoon regiments had several guidons. The first (or King's) was crimson, the others were, for the 17th, white. |

Go with John Watts except that the guidons wre left at home-not carried in America mainly because the unit was split into small parties like the 60 or so that went south with Tarleton. |
