I've read that each regiment had two standards, the colonels and the regiments, but I haven't found any reference as to which battalion carried them or if they were divided between the first and second or if all the battalions had one or the other standard, which would mean having multiples of the same flag. Any help's appreciated. |

Two per battalion – first had the colonel's colour (ie. the mainly white one) and a regimental (or whatever the right term is; the coloured one….), other battalions had two coloured ones. (They did later cut it to one flag per battalion, but not until 1813 or 14.) |

Depends how many figs you have in a Btn of 24 figs I would stick to one, although Dom is correct and you could go for 2 but I would only do this with 32 figs and above for stylistic reasons only rabbit |

Thanks to you both. rabbit, 32 is the number I'm making each of the battalions. |
