Hi,

I'm very deep into Ravenna as I pretty much have most of the miniatures (bare metal!) for this.

The one nagging problem and it's a big one(!) is that I have very little to no information on what Standards, Heraldic Banners and liveries for both sides at the Battle of Ravenna.

Can anyone help me out- I would be eternally grateful!!!

I will post up a list of the protagonists in my next post- or edit this one.

At the moment, I'm so desperate for information that this post is serving as a reminder for me to definitely make the post!! (Hope that makes sense

Have you come across Pete’s Flags on eBay? He does some beautiful ones for the Various Italian states, the Spanish and French. Helion have two forthcoming books on the Italian Wars, the second of which includes Ravenna.
If it’s too hard, I can’t do it

Yeah, I've been internet buddies with Pete for many years :)

One of the editors from Helion has forwarded me a copy of the Charles VIII Invasion/Fornov with a view to reviewing the book when it's in a more complete form. the relevant  details are on my Gewalthaufen Blog:

Pete's lives not that far from me as I found out last evening! :)
