They also had some free ones in old Wargames, Soldiers & Strategy magazines. They came in a few issues in a row a year or so ago. |

Colbert, There are better Napoleonic flags available. Note that adolforamos has only a single generic French flag for line regiments--no regimental distinctions. Other makers, like Rohr, have individual numbering and battle honors specific to the regiment. |

Widowson,
Yes there are better flags about.
I use GMB 15`s which are the best on the market.(Also AB Flags)
I thought i`d take a look at these though.

Another supplier of fine quality 15mm flags is Vaubanner: link Colbert will have seen some of these on my 15mm figures in another forum. |

Greystreak,
Bought a few packs of Vaubanner a while ago & found them
to be very poor.
Still have them as i wouldn`t use them.

Agreed, Vaubanner are not GMB quality; but how long ago was a 'while'? We're talking 15's, not 28's, are we not? I've only tried 15mm Vaubanner French & Prussian flags, can't speak for other nationalities, or sizes. |

These were ,15 NAP-FRL 1,15 NAP-FEG 1 & 2 packs.
They were bought maybe 3-4 yrs ago. 15mm flags

The Bavarian and Austrian Nap flags in the Ramos gallery look absolutely breath-taking. GMB quality or better. picture picture |

@huevans,,
That`s just why i thought i would invest in a few.
They do look good. As to GMB quality? I`d have to see them side by side.

Adolfo did a couple of custom flags on command stands for my Liberators! Miniatures 15/18mm range of South American Independence figures. I think they looked great. |

Looks to me the main difference between the GMB and Ramos flags (which appear to be the best two of all the flags shown in Colbert and Huevan's links) is that GMB's textures look more hand-painted, while for Ramos the texture appears to be done with a computer graphics program. Colbert's posting of comparitive pics of the same flag by different makers was an excellent idea – everyone has their favourite flag makers, but seeing the pics, you can definitely see that the styles (and, dare I say it, qualities) of each maker vary widely. |
