I'm interested in the WoFun 18mm War of Spanish Succession range and have some flag queries. My main question is: Where do people actually go to get paper flag replacements?
I appreciate that replacing the flag stands with paper flags looks better but what is actually wrong with the original flags? It's said they are the "wrong way round" but what does that actually mean? Are the designs mirrored or are the two flags just in the wrong position?
As the 18mm sprues contain a "duplicate" set of figures, I guess you end up with a duplicate flag stand. If so, that would be another incentive to replace at least one of the flag stands.
The replacement flag bearers are rather mixed. It looks like you end up with quite a lot of surplus flag bearers...
Finally, a related query. As I'm intending to get three 3-stand regiments out of each sprue (rather than two 5-stand regiments), it looks likely that I will need to paint over some cuffs and stockings. If so I assume it might be better to start with a sprue that has white facings.
Can anyone throw any light on these issues?
