[commercial] New Age of Sail flag sets

[Lluís of Minairons]

Our 1/600 scale Age of Sail ranges keep growing at a steady pace, now with the addition of three new 17^th and 18^th centuries naval flag sets. One of them is dedicated to the Royal Scots Navy between 1630 and 1707, while the other two are intended to cover Hindustan waters scenarios with a couple of sets related to the Mogul/Mughal Empire and the Maratha Confederation.

After these new releases, our Age of Sail collection now provides for thirty-four flag sets belonging to sixteen 17^th century seafaring nations, as well as those of another nine 18^th century ones. In the next months we're going to gradually increase releases related to this latter period.

Luis, are there any publications for Warships of the Mogul or Maratta forces?

I currently know of none, but I hope there's something, somewhere. If anyone knows, please share!

Some pieces of info at regard can be found on Wikipedia, however - especially regarding the Marathas, who unlike the Mughals took care of having a modern and powerful navy, with the help of portuguese mercenaries.

The backbone of Maratha naval force were the ghurabs or grabs (similar to western frigates), that showed a hybrid rigging - with lateen sailed foremast and galleon-like the rest of masts. Their other main ship was a small galley called gallivat, similar in size to a western galiot.
