I know the Mahdists carried a plethora & the British none at all. But how about the Egyptians? Flags or no? And if so, were they the Turkish Red Crescent ones? Thanks |

The "Warflag" site has a nice selection of Egyptian flags. Seems a pity to send your troops into battle sans colors.

Thank you, sir. I had forgotten Warflag. |

A much more complete set of New Egyptian Army Flags (in the five most commonly used figure scales) is available here: link (Don't let the fuzzy sample page image fool you. Gotta do something to discourage thieving cheapskates!) TVAG |

I was going to buy a few sets of flags but then saw a $12 USD shipping for 3 sheets of paper and I came to my senses. |

@flashman2 Yes, P&P are very high to OZ. I stopped buying flags some time ago. I now download them from the internet, re-size them to fit 20mm figures on my computer & then print them on high quality paper on the many-thousands-of-dollars laser colour printer at work. works well. |

I used the WarFlag colours for my 15mm Egyptian Battalions and created my own National and Kedhive flags for command stands etc using PowerPoint (or another drawing/presentation application). I think the results were really quite good.
Edit: I should say I created my Egyptian 'army' for the Anglo-Egyptian War of 1882 but with the intention of also using it to battle dervish & mahdists in 1884/1885. |
