Many of the command group figures from various ranges for the ECW, WSS etc. are wearing sashes, typically over the shoulder. I'm just wondering what the significance of these were, and if they were solely a military thing. I'd like to use many of these figures as armed (non-military) gentlemen in Gloire, so I'm curious if the sashes would complicate things.
I know sashes are a staple part of military regalia in more recent times; I'm just wondering how it was back then.
