I know Austrian hussars didn't take flags on campaign (though I may stand to be corrected on this) but I like flags!

Wow. Beautiful work.

Very nice!

Maybe they took the flag 'cause they were planning for an easy victory and a quick parade thereafter

Sheepman196116 Sep 2018 12:26 p.m. PST

Fredrick – I like it!!!

great unit – inspiring – great miniatures as well, great attention to detail, like the hussar trumpeter.

Yes no cavalry standards in the field, in case a pity that they are depicted in line infantry sizes, while cavalry standards were quite small.

Thanks again chaps, the flag is an Austrian cavalry flag of the period from GMB who are normally pretty accurate, maybe it's because the tassels/cords are a little too large which makes the flag look big.

cavalry standards – compared to infantry colours were quite small – GMB is doing wonderful designs but – according to wargamers wishes – but in my view – massivley overscaled.

GMB freely admit that. It is to cater for Wargamers, exactly as you said above, who want larger, easily identifiable, symbols on the table.

Very interesting lads, didn't realise that.

Beautiful painting on all of your figures shown on your blog.

They are your figures . If you like flags then go for it! Nice figures by the way.
