Deviating once again from 'The Plan' I have delved into the Tyrolean uprising of 1809 with the excellent figures from Eureka. The Panorama of the Battle of Berg Isel in Innsbruck is a great source of information and inspiration and well worth a visit. It clearly shows each district militia with its own standard. Does anyone know a source of information on these or whether anyone makes them in 28mm?

Im doing as you are , Artilleryman, painting up the Tyroleans to fight Bavarians. I found that Panorama too. Only wish one could zoom in closer on various parts.
Im going to use a green and white striped flag with a red eagle on it, I found it when I was googling Images for Tyrolean flags. Sorry, no direct link.

Oh, here is a link on the topic:

The last gentleman says not to rely too much on the accuracy of the Panorama uniforms.
