Ahoy, Ahoy!
Hello hive mind.
Can I ask a favour, I'm painting a Swiss army as a commission, and the owner has provided a set of the Pendraken Swiss-Burgundian flags, could anyone name the individual flags?
I'm after the cantons for the Swiss and which are Burgundian, which I need to avoid?
Thanks all

I googled "Swiss flags for renaissance armies" and looked at images. The second one there shows a load of flags which seem to be identical to many on the Pendraken sheets, on a site called 'soul.'  I imagine a similar google for Burgundian flags for renaissance armies might prove equally frutiful.

Avoid pnfl2 and 4, most look Burgundian. On pnfl3, use all except the top two rows. Don't remember all the exact cantons, but I recognise most of the lower ones and they are Swiss. There's Berne (bear), Uri (bull), Schwyz (red with white cross), and several more as well.
