GSD202 Ahumada I.R. painting guide, updated

There are major changes in my painting guide for the Ahumada infantry regiment, after reviewing the latest research that Boeri, Hernàndez & Riart published in recent dates. The only information I had at hand so far was that one given by Kühn and Hall referred to this regiment's uniform and equipment in 1716, once that unit had been withdrawn from Spain to be redeployed in Naples, and later Hungary.

Now their whole uniformity history is fully known since at least 1705, and this knowledge may deliver you a few surprises! This is why I have just updated and uploaded a new v3 version of Ahumada I.R. painting guide (GSD202), which is already available for free download at our Free Stuff page.

No amendments seem necessary to our flag sheets 10GSC201, 15GSC202, 20GSC202 or 28GSC202, thankfully.

Summer releases breviary

It's been a pretty calm and silent Summer this year, with very few postings on this blog or social media --but by no means an inactive one! Otherwise, there has been a lot of undercover work producing some amount of new and upcoming stuff.

First of all, we have consolidated our projected range of 1:144^th scale (10mm) flags for War of Spanish Succession, by printing and releasing its three first sets. As it can be seen by the photo above, each set contains both King's and Regiment's colours for three different peninsular regiments. This collection is going to grow gradually, following the rate of its 1:100, 1:72 and 1:56 sister ranges.

Secondly, we have released a new set of flags suitable for Spanish Civil War and WWII, in 1:100^th, 1:72^nd and 1:56^th scales altogether as usual, that consists of three different flags of the german Condor Legion and III Reich. These can be useful as aerial recognition elements for vehicles, as game objectives or even for scenery decoration.

Also, our ranges of War of Spanish Succession flags for larger scales have just seen a new addition - this time, those belonging to the Admiral of Castile Infantry Regiment (far better known as Ahumada IR, on behalf of its colonel), which was in fact the most senior unit in Archduke Charles' spanish army --because it was created in 1703 by exilés in Portugal, long before the Crown of Aragon states raised in his support.

Alongside to those above, I've taken advantage for releasing a couple of new PDF booklets --the one presenting a painting guide for the forementioned regiment, while the other one summarizes all available information on Austrophile Spanish flags currently available. You can download both for free from our website.
