In purchasing minis. to represent Rall's grenadier regiment, I chose Perry Minis. Rall command pack and several packs of the marching poses. However, I noticed that the command pack only comes with one flag bearer. I checked the website and the product photo also shows one flag bearer in the pack, so I assume this is intentional.
I always assumed that Rall's regiment would have had two flags as other Hessian units did. Is this incorrect? Specifically interested in what flag or flags they carried into battle at Trenton.
I also ordered a Rall flag set from GMB Designs but I haven't gotten it yet, so I don't know if it has one or two. I checked Flags of War's site and their Rall flag set comes with two, a green and a white one. |

Eindecker has it right – for my 28mm 24 fig regiments, I use two flags on the command stand |

Hessian regiments carried five flags in the AWI. One flag was the Leib fahnen and the other four were regimental colors. We know that each regiment carried five flags because it was reported that 15 were lost at Trenton. |
