All I'm painting a battalion of Isembourg – simple question. Do they have a flag/standard? F |

actually a colour Actually un drapeau seeing as the regiment was in French service. Surely unsolicited pedantry should not be satisfied with half-measures.  A good thread on this topic (with some interesting links) can be found here: TMP link |

Good luck trying to find this out.
It's a very cool looking regiment so good choice on the uniform.
If your flag/standard hunt is unsuccessful you can either 1)use your artistic licence and imagination and give them a cool flag of your own making. 2) fall back on a simple regular French regimental tricolour banner. Either of these will do if the historical truth has vanished. |

Ferg981, Both battalions of the regiment D'Issembourg carried a drapeau & eagle. The drapeau was of the 1804 pattern with the wordings; VALEUR
ET DISCIPLINE
1st BATAILLON Then; L'EMPEREUR
DES FRANCAIS
AU REGIMENT
D'ISSEMBOURG If your doing your unit in 28mm, I can't recommend GMBs beautiful set highly enough. Hope this was a little more helpful than the 1st response you received lol. |

this forum is usually in English so " a colour " should do.. |

Nevertheless, taking that lil' bit of extra time in actually trying to give some kind of answer to what the OP was looking for would probably have been a nice touch. |

Lead people Can't see the flag on GMB's website? Do you have a link? F |

Thanks guys These are Hät figures which I brought to try, they are alright. Don't think I'll buy any more though F |

Thanks ferg981, you've inspired me. I do believe I'm going to form a 36-figure Isembourg battalion in 15mm Minifigs using these figures. I'm leaning toward using the French Tricolor regimental flag.
