Many years ago there was a quite comprehensive series of 5 articles in Military Modelling about ECW era Flags and Standards.

With the authors agreement, these have recently been made available as a 37 page PDF download at the BCW site covering Royalist, Parlimentary and New Model Army forces plus both sides of the Scottish forces:

Inspiration for our next Baroque test game  ;)
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
we are not now that strength which in old days
moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are.

+1! Exceptional find (and I frequent Project-BCW and still missed it).

Most timely as I'm painting up some units for 'The Pikemen's Lament' rules. Luckily I still have some of the articles courtesy of a friend.

I had them when they first came out, then lost some of them in a move, cut out the remainder when I downsized my magazine collection. Excellent find, now have digital copies as well.
