Flags

Came across this http://www.angelfire.com/ak5/alexflags/tyw.html for TYW flags.

Absolutely no idea if they are accurate, but may be of some use.

The red, blue and yellow Swedish flags are to a large extent based on the Möhner paintings. However the maker has made his personal interpretation of the designs rather than copying the originals. (The fleur de lys, crowns and moon on the blue flags are diffrent for example). The use of the 3 crowns in the yellow flags is conjectural while the flag with a cross of St. Andrew, crown and 'GARS' is a nice piece of research since it come from the flags described by Hoppe who saw such flags in Elbing in Prussia 1626-29. These flags are of course those of the Yellow, Blue and Red regiments. The green flags are those of Thomas Sigmund von Schlammersdorf's regiment while the top 3 blue flags are conjectural designs, good ones expet for the one with a ordinary cross. (Which the Swedes didn't use on land)

The Danish flags are at least partly based on ones captured by the Swedes though some of those trophies were taken in 1657. They include a nice detail in the shape of the "Dannebrog" in the canton which was added after Lutter am Barenberg.

Daniel beat to to it, I was just going to quote his input in some TMP threads regarding these flags!

Glad the Danish ones may be pretty good, I am building a moderate Danish force, the but would appreciate some unit/flag ID.
