Flag Size

Post by curassier » Sat Apr 27, 2019 1:12 pm

Greetings all - thinking of moving back into GNW or WSS.
Is there a wargaming accepted "standard" size for infantry standards as it were ?
I want to get some specific ones painted but I want them to match for size with ranges like those produced by Warfare and Flags of War. can anyone help with their dimensions. I feel warfare may be a little larger ??
Many thanks
JM

When You order Flags from Barry he can resize those Flags to what ever the printer/program is able to. Just tell him the, for you, appropriate dimension you have in mind and Barry can check it out.

The Size Barry uses are a bit larger than normal as he prefers "heroic" Sizes of Flags.
My Flags, which I got for the Saxons are actual accurate transferred from Real Life size to 28mm.

As already said, the Saxon flags “in real life” were larger than the Swedish, Danish and Russian flags. I have my Swedish flags sized at 30mm on the hoist.

The Warfare Miniatures flags are available in three sizes, for example Russian Infantry: 30 x 30mm, 40 x 40mm and 50 x 50mm (I suspect that the first version is to scale but he larger ones look great!)
