This venerable regiment was another key element of the British forces during the Saratoga campaign.
As a "Royal" regiment, the regimental facings were dark blue.
As for all "Royal" regiments, its drummers did not wear the usual "reversed colors".
These are Perry figures once again, with Adolfo Ramos flags
The flaps of the haversacks were often painted in the regimental facing color, and might bear a regimental device as well.
They probably left their colors behind, but what self respecting wargamer would forgo the flags? Certainly not I!
Lovely work on them and as for having a flag it would be rude not to!! One of the must have regiments in so many different periods.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Donnie!
DeleteThey look great Peter and love the helmets ( as mentioned last time!). Also agree re the flags.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Keith. I do love the look of the Saratoga uiniforms!
DeleteLovely unit there Peter and even though they probably left the colours at home, one always wants units with flags!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Steve!
DeleteWhat is a British regiment without its colours? Lovely work on these Peter.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lawrence; I believe we have a consensus re the flags.. no big surprise there! :-)
DeleteGreat looking unit!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ray!
DeleteNice work Peter.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Chris!
DeleteGreat looking fusiliers, Peter! Love the light inf caps and shortened coats for the campaign.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like them, Dean!
DeleteSuper stuff warms the very cockles of a British heart :-)
ReplyDeleteThere will be some ragged rebels to oppose them before long!
DeleteLovely stuff. Always a flag... preferably over sized as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Richard. Agreed, within reason. Aside from cost and format (always TWO flags), that's the one thing I'm not crazy about with the otherwise lovely GMB flags - they are a bit TOO oversized for my tastes. Also those very large flags mean they wont fit in the 9 L Really Useful Boxes with the flags upright! Also remind me a forgot top trim off the top of the flagstaff here and gild it - done!
DeleteYou have another fine unit. I agree that the flags don't fit the otherwise perfect box. But that is another first world problem, ne?
ReplyDeleteIndeed it is, mon ami!
DeleteExcellent looking figures and of course you have to have a flag!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks, Iain. It sems one thing we wargamers can agree about is flags! :-)
