I am looking for 15 mm cav and infantry flags. British and French. Any suggestions? |

These are free. They are nice and you cannot beat the price. warflag.com/#wargaming I am always glad to help a fellow Michigander Mike |

I'm a big fan of painting your own. My blog is down right now so I don't have a link to how I do them but a brief description is: measure and cut tissue paper to fit folded around the flag staff
swap the flag staff for a toothpick
draw a thin bead of glue along the flag end to secure it to itself
paint one side of the flag
allow to dry enough that flipping it over won't ruin it
paint the other side
allow to dry enough that handling it lightly won't ruin it
slide it off the toothpick
slide the flag over the flag staff
drop a couple beads of glue into the gap around the flag staff
squeeze the flag around the flag staff to close the gap
smash the flag against the flag staff – this creates waves Adjust to your personal taste. Cheers, The Bandit |

I use a lot of flags from Fighting 15s (the ones designed for my AB figs), but I have to say that as nice as those are – nothing beats the Flag Dude. His flags are not cheap, but they are the best I have seen. Wonderful. I think he is at flagdude.com Aaron |

As for Vaubanner graphics flags ,
I bought a few packs a while ago(3-4yrs) 15NAP FEG 1,
15 NAP FEG 2 & some others.I found them to be poor.

Can't speak for your experience, colbert, but I've had lots of flags from Vaubanner in 15mm (Nap French) and 28mm (fantasy and sci-fi stuff) and they have all been first-rate. w. |

Colbert – that was very helpful. I for one would like to see the other flag mfgs you have samples of. |
| colbert | 08 Apr 2009 4:18 a.m. PST |
All flags are 15mm,
Flagdude, the flag comes fixed to the steel wire,& is already folded as in pictures.
You have to add(& supply the eagle) & fix the flag pole to the figure.

What about cavalry flags, who makes them? |
| colbert | 08 Apr 2009 6:00 a.m. PST |
reggie88,
Are you being silly?
All the mentioned brands make cavalry standards as well.

No I was not being silly, I use warflag.com but I did not see any cavalry flags. Why pay for them? |
| colbert | 09 Apr 2009 1:50 a.m. PST |
"Why pay for them?"
Because the quality & extensive range available is far superior than the likes of warflag.
