Or the original Volley & Bayonet has just Saint Privat.

Well remembered ML. I wonder if Keith McNelly's V&B site stil has that scenario up?  I have an original copy of V&B so can certainly provide the OOBs

Here they are the command group bases of the 23rd Division of the XII Saxon Corps. Sorry for the bad quality of the pics, the camera was discharged and I had to take them with the phone. So:

100th Regiment (I Battalion flag)



101st Regiment (II/III Battalions flag)



102nd Regiment (I Battalion flag)



103rd Regiment (II/III Battalions flag)



I'll try to take more pics tomorrow forming these command groups with Prussian rank and file.

Now I'm painting the 108th Regiment (Fusiliers) that carried no flag. The remaining command groups (104th-107th Regiments, 24th Division) have to wait as I ran out of standard bearers!

Thanks Mollinary for your useful guidelines!

Those are amazing! Leave my flags in the shade too!

Thanks! For the troops I used Pendraken Prussians with Pickelhaube but I filed the cuff flaps to make the Saxon cuffs, plus the proper Saxons Pendraken added to the 1870 Prussian range wearing caps with visors. Besides these minor details the uniform is mainly the same, with dark blue shoulder straps and black leather equipment.

With Javier posting these pictures it mean he cant enter these figures into the competition right?

Well that's what I am hoping anyway to give me a 0.01% chance of winning ;)
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

I hand paint my own flags so I can really appreciate the work that has gone into those. Absolutely superb work

Begs the question, "What would they look like if you had taken good quality photos?"
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Well, you caught me, i made the pics out of focus on purpose to hide the mistakes! =)
