RE: Flags of our Great Great Great Great Great Grandfathers

Post by christof139 »

Yes, as eric said suprisingly many states did not have flags at the time. So we're being 'historical'. However, we have plenty of room to include lots of flags. Let's just create a thread (this one will do fine, OK Gil?) with all the various flags you all would like. Just post an image and I'll compile them into the Flags files and distribute them w/ a future patch.

Guidelines about images:
Flags must be at least 80x80 pixels minimum and need be no larger than 400x400. The cleaner and clearer they are, the more likely they are to be included. Text, etc. does not show up very well on the flags, as they are so small. They can be in non-rectangle shapes (pennant, triangle, etc.)

Here's an example of what I mean by 'clean'. Flat image, no waviness = better. Illustrations are better than photos, for this purpose.

Hey PixelPusher, i found a bunch of CSA and USA flags, including Lee's ANV HQ flag and others not in the game. I can't seem to upload them here, but I can send them to you in an email if you give me your email address, as I can't get them to load in PM either.

i am a dunce when it comes to emailing info., although I have done it a few years ago and sent JM Barbier of the NIR Project (TalonSoft Nappy Era and ACW site) in France some things.

Here is my email address:

christof139@hotmail.com

I can send the pics by regular email attachment.

I couldn't get the upload functions to function for me here in the forums or in PM.

here is another particular flag, the SC Sovereign Flag that is very sharp, and I want you all to use and enjoy these.

i have to look for Lee's ANV engineer JQ flag on the inet yet, but I know it is somewhere.

Thanx, Chris

CSA Missouri Red Episcopal Cross on Dark Blue Field Canton on white field. Don't know about the light blue border, it could have been dark blue, red, yellow, orange-red, or none at all. I made it light blue since that is the color of the US Army Infantry:

RE: Flags of our ... Taylor's 1864 Trans Miss. Army Flag

Post by christof139 »

Taylor's 1864 Trans Miss. Army Flag, made of silk and bunting by Confed. exile women in Cuba. It is thought they simply made a mistake and reversed the colors. No biggie. The beautiful flags were greatly appreciated by Taylor's troops. Some may have had white borders on the St. Andrew's Cross and flag edges, can't remember, but I have the info. in a book. The game has this flag as a SC flag, and off-hand I am not aware of SC troops using a flag like this with white borders, but it could be so. Doesn't matter, they are beautiful flags.
