Title: RCW Flags: Does Anyone Know Where the Flags from "That Danish Site" Went?
Post by: Pan Marek on January 24, 2024, 05:32:19 PM
Gents:

On older posts, people refer to a Danish wargaming site that had good files on RCW flags.   They provide the link, but the site is now gone.  Interestingly, that same group has a FB page, but not much activity, and nothing about RCW flags.

Does anyone know where their flag files went?  Or, is there anyone out there who downloaded those files and can supply a copy?

Thanks!!

Luckily the page seems to have been captured by the wayback internet archive - if you follow the links at least some (haven’t tried many as it’s very slow) of the flag images were stored:

FinnN-
Thanks!  Your links go to a page with a list of flags, clicking on them reveals some
flags, but also some black pages which seem to be the old Danish Forum page, which
if clicked on will reveal nothing.

Anything that I didn't have before is, however welcome.

Thanks

Cool. Glad you found it useful!

On the missing images, if you follow the link that gets you to the forum, click on the link at the top left where it’ll say something like “4 captures” you can each time it was archived. Go to the earliest capture and if you’re lucky the image will be there. Here’s an example of such an image:
