GSD229 Rubí's IR painting guide, reviewed

Today, I consider my general review of the WSS Austrophile regiments painting guides be complete, after checking the last one I had published so far, which is the regiment the Marquis of Rubí --after being appointed Viceroy of Majorca by Charles III-- hurriedly raised in 1713 to reinforce Majorcan defenses, while inside a Barcelona city that was already under siege...

I have found no fundamental discrepancies with Boeri, Hernàndez & Riart's encyclopedic work, but just a couple of side notes worth to be added. Despite one of such notes concerns the regimental flag I have already published under codes 15GSC229, 20GSC229 and 28GSC229, I have considered that no changes were deemed necessary yet --let scholars debate before!

Therefore, I have already made available an updated v1 version of this particular painting guide (GSD229), that can be freely downloaded from our Free Stuff page, or directly right here by just clicking on the image above.

Announcement in advance: I am currently awaiting the chance to acquire a new book on the matter, hopefully allowing me to check my current list of Two Crowns Spanish Infantry guides too --a task I'm going to start by mid-November, most likely. Besides, the substantial increase of my library on this matter will help me design and publish new flag sheets and guides of both sides --something hopefully happening next month too.
