Hi all Slow progress at the moment, but I have some more pics up on my blog, charting the progress of d'Humieres' Regiment. This time, it's the drummer, more of the pikemen, and the Drapeaux d'Ordonnance . Just keep painting, just keep painting........ Best wishes Andy http://haveacare.blogspot.co.uk/

Thanks for the amazing information so far everybody - what I love about this forum so far is that just one query, from anybody, can stir so much interest and debate! Fantastic! I'll try and digest all the information posted so far!! Back again soon, I hope... I'm slowly working my way through painti...

Hi all Mark Allen lists the following French Infantry Regiments for the Landen (Neerwinden) campaign, and I just wondered what people thought of this? :? In my attempts at creating some brigades for my BtLB forces, I'd like to try and keep 'accurate' (maybe 6 battalions of infantry for now.) I've al...

Thanks Arthur I'll summarise all the info you've provided, and when the regiment is complete, I'll post it up on my blog. Greatly appreciated! :D Unfortunately, my Osprey Chartrand is mis-placed at the minute - somewhere in storage at my parents' house I think. :cry: The Hall Plates I'm curious abou...

Arthur This is simply wonderful!! Thank you so much - just a brief reading of this is so helpful, and I'm sure that when I've had time to digest it properly it will mean so much more - I was more excited about replying to say a big thank you!! Now I'll go back to it and read it properly. :D Certainl...

Hi all Firstly, a massive thanks for all the assistance in recent days over colours, cravates , tassels etc of the French forces. All greatly appreciated!! :wink: My next query is about Regiment d'Humieres in 1693. Over the last couple of years I've followed Giles Allison's blog 'Tarleton's Quarter'...

Thanks for all the info chaps - fascinating stuff! I think I'll stick with the white cravate for the regiment I'm doing (d'Humiere's) unless anybody knows differently. I'll try and add one to the Colonel's colour as well - at the minute I've only painted up the Ordonnance colour. I'm tempted to do t...

Classic!!! :shock: Saw this after putting some rather natty tassels on the flag out of wire and green stuff!!!! It was a nice piece of work as well........... :? Thanks for any replies chaps, and having read this - I've come up with a plan.... So the Greenstuff cravat will stay on the flag, as will ...

Think I've just found the answer - knew it would be on here with a bit of searching..... :oops: So white flags implicitly came to mark the presence of royal authority wherever they were flown - which is why the colonel's standard was white in both infantry and cavalry units as white suggested that t...

Hi all - as the title says, just a query on French flags in the W of the GA. I was wondering what colour the finials for the flags would be - gold or silver? and if they had tassles ( sp? ) :? or not? and if so what colour would these be? I've had a quick flick through BTLB and other pics, and it se...

Hi all - thought people would be interested to have a look at the first salvo in my new project. Just one pic at the moment on the blog, but others will be on their way.

Hi all Right, things are moving!! In the process of following up my query about flags in the 1690s for English regiments, I finally 'did it', and popped over to Wargames Illustrated in Nottingham, and picked up a copy of the Mark Allen articles CD from WI, that had been discussed on here and TMP a f...

Cheers for all the help people!! I'll keep an eye out for those flags Clarence.

Right - off to sort out some kind of excel files now, to keep track of the regiments I want to raise!!

Andy

Thanks Dave for pointing me to Clarence's flags - not thought of that one! Only thing is, I'll have to get my head round which regiment was which, for Landen (Neerwinden), and have a proper loook. My impression from Wikipedia, is that the following regiments were there: 1st Foot Gds, 2nd Foot Guards...
