Lovely stuff!  Better than most 15mm and some 28mm! 🙂

Re Austrian flags – I inherited a large Austrian SYW army with all the flags posted on the right flank.  My mate’s dead now, so I can’t ask him why he did them that way, but he’d organised the army using a stack of books that I loaned him!  Having looked through, I found a reference to the flags being carried by a battalion’s 1st company, which in column would take post at the front and in line would take post on the right.  However, I would have assumed that the colour-party would break off from the company when forming line and take post in the centre (like everyone else)?
