Imperial Austrian flags for War of the Spanish Succession?
« on: 17 October 2023, 10:14:23 PM »
Hello everyone,

I have started to put together some units to replicate Eugene of Savoy's army from the earliest parts of the WSS when he was in Italy. I am struggling though to find flags for the various regiments that were part of his army. So far I've only looked online, but could someone point me in the right direction?

Cheers,

Maks

Hi, have you checked out the League of Augsburg webshop?  They sell some 28mm flags for Austrian/Imperial infantry which are listed as suitable for I think 1680-1714. No idea if these are units you may be looking for.

The best source for these flags, and indeed the uniform and the army, is the Hall book on the army - UNIFORMS AND FLAGS OF THE IMPERIAL AUSTRIAN ARMY 1683-1720
by G Hall, R & Boeri

Unfortunately it can be tricky to find now.

Hi!
You may have a look at Kronoskaf WSS project, Austrian Army
http://kronoskaf.com/wss/index.php?title=Austrian_Army

There are flags for a good number of them

Thanks everyone!

I use kronoskaf as a great reference, but I don't know if I will have the strength and time to paint my own banners, so I was looking to buy some 😂

I use Kronoskaf to print my own banners, downloading the picture and resizing it to scale to print
