Anyone know where I can source Bavarian flags for both infantry and cavalry (chevaulegers)?

I have tried Warflag but the come out too pixellated and too dark. There is an US company that does an infantry flag but I can't find any cavalry standards available in 10mm?

Not sure on that one, my first thought would be to approach some of the 15mm or 28mm companies and see if they'd be able to resize for you?  We do want to add more flags to the Naps ranges in the future, but I've not started that process yet.

According to Osprey Flags of the Napoleonic Wars 1 the chevaulegers did not carry flags. About the warflag files - do you mean the napflags files? Give us half a day and I can privately post you a variant with a couple of lighter shades of blue to try with your printer. Photoshop to the rescue...

You might try Maverick Models. They will resize at your request, just tell them the length on the pole you are looking for, and which of their existing sizes is closest, 15mm or 6mm.

If it's possible, try and get someone to reduce a larger image down to fit a 10mm figure.  From various discussions with Pete at Baccus, resizing his 6mm flags to bigger figures can be hit or miss depending on the design and detail of the flag.

Hullo Gunhit,
I sent you a message with a link to an A4 size pdf with (hopefully) correctly scaled 10 mm Bavarian flag colour variants, based on the Warflag file.
Let us know if they work for you.
Getting the colours right can be a pain, depending on your printer setup. I usually paint some highlights and shadows on my printed flags anyway, so I can live with shades that are not quite right.

Thanks for the quick replies guys. I have pinged a message back to you Aksu as they have printed out too small.
