The foot are Plastic with Metal command, the Dragoons Plastic which I like a bit less, the heavies are Warfare and the guns Ebor. They mix well.

the Ebor guns are actually Warfare - we provide their guns

Roger,
I know that comes a bit late but would you be interested to get the Flags that Saxony used after 1707?
Cheers,
Günter

Hi Gunter
Probably not at this stage. I plan to do just 8 battalions of Saxon Foot for the moment and already have the original flags you commissioned sat waiting for me to finish some more figures.

That's OK Roger as long as you dont have Members of the Fashion Police or Button Counters in your midst
who would point out that Tricorne and 1701 Flags have never "met" each other.
Thanks anyway
