[commercial] Some WSS related news

[Lluís of Minairons]

I've just released a further PDF booklet on the War of the Spanish Succession, this one a little larger than the 1 or 2 pages uniform guides I've been publishing so far.

Under the title of "Notes on Philip V's Infantry Flags", this new 6 pages free booklet deals with the evolution of Two Crowns' Spanish Infantry Colours since the very early reign of Philip d'Anjou until the end of war. I hope this comprehensive (or so I think?) guide will help WSS aficionados to better understand Spanish flag patterns of this period, so poorly covered elsewhere.

It's also intended there to share the factual data and hypotheses behind my own reconstructions of them --all this, duely backed by a hopefully useful bibliographical listing.

With time, it's my aim to publish similar booklets on Austrophile Spanish (or Austro-Catalans, name them at will) and Portuguese flags too. Hope this initiative is to be welcome!

Also, I've taken advantage of this publication above for releasing a new set of Two Crowns Spanish Infantry flags --now those of the renowned Castile Infantry Regiment, formerly known as 'Old Purples' Tercio. As usual, those flag sets have been released in 1/100, 1/72 and 1/56 scales altogether. Let me also comment that there are plans for boosting soon the 1/144 scale versions of all our collection too.

As it couldn't be otherwise, these releases above have been accompanied by a PDF painting guide devoted to that very same Regiment. All my PDF guides can be downloaded for free, BTW.

And last but not least, our recently started 1/72 scale WSS figure range is going to see further releases quite soon. But let me keep some mystery around for a while...

I call them Hapsburg faction and Bourbon faction, and the conflict  1st SCW (1st Spanish Civil War, as the first that involved all countries in the Spanish monarchy, with factions within them fighting each other to decide which dinasty would rule; the Second and Third would be the Carlist Wars, and the Fourth, the latest unpleasantness, in 1936-1939)

By the way, good initiative on the flags. It is a notoriously difficult subject.
