If you have some favorite foote regiments you want to field, let me know and I will see if I have them. Otherwise, I will send an assortment of 50/50 Royalist/Parliament. Since most flag packs contain two flags from the same regiment and I only use one per regiment, I likely have a number of singletons.Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-86125598779182373492019-02-20T20:41:50.281-05:002019-02-20T20:41:50.281-05:00The present wave of ECW reinforcements will ultima...The present wave of ECW reinforcements will ultimately include 3 new regiments of Foote, 4 small regiments of Horse, plus a slew of casualty and command figures.
