English Civil War Muster of the Cornish Foote

Having completed the new Cornish Foote force I was able to get 1/2 of the flags printed after the gloss coat and flocking.

Here they are in a sample formation.

Overview of the whole brigade

Brigade Command

The Blews & Redds each sporting the Golden Dragon of Wesses flags, which each regiment will have in the end along with an alternate flag

The alternate flags of the black & yellow regiments

something of a 'rabble', these are local trained bands, one with some shotte, the other with 'short pikes'

a favorite view of the table, with the flags showing off

three more 3-man artillery crews were also put together in this set, the guns have been around for more than a decade now

You made short work of all of those Cornish regiments. I like the colors. Well done!

Sometimes I wonder if I am blazing away at them so fast that I'm missing something ...

Good Evening, I was interested in your Cornish Standards for the ECW. I have a collection of figures and have run a few games based around the battle of Lansdown, Siege of Devizes and Battle of Roundway 1643. Many of Lord Hopton's troops were Devon and Cornish, so wanted to check where you obtained the information on the flags? Thank you in advance. Andy

Hi Andy, I did a bunch of searches for Cornish logos and symbols that existed in current towns and villages. Then used those symbols to incorporate them into the flags that I used.

I was not able to find any mid-17th Century flag data that was specifically mentioned. These are my own conjectural images.

Ok I see, thank you for the quick reply.
