Just as announced a couple of days ago, I'm converting my War of Spanish Succession ranges from digital PDF files into physical, pro printed DIN A7 sized paper sheets. I started with their 1/100 scale version, and now I've also completed conversion of their 1/72 version!
Now only their 1/56 scale version are still awaiting conversion. This will be done in a few days too.
Now that the headquarters move is over, we are restarting activity by sharing with our readers the release of a new set of War of Spanish Succession flags --devoted this time to a third Austro-Catalan infantry regiment: that one oficially named "Saint Narcissus", but also known by locals as "German infantry". The set has been released simultaneously in 1/100, 1/72 and 1/56 scales versions altogether, following our purpose to develop all three ranges simultaneously.
This is not all, though. Two former sets, that were put under pre-order some months ago, have now been made ultimately available too. I'm talking about "Saint Eulàlia" and "General Deputation" regiments, already announced in previous posts.
All these sets are now available under form of a DIN A7 format PDF file, that can be downloaded for €2.00 and auto-printed at will --with the only exception of "St. Eulàlia" 28mm version, that had been brought to printshop some time before. This later will be sold as printed paper still for a time, until end of stocks; only afterwards we shall re-release it as a PDF file too.
In the next months we'll keep developing these new, multi-scale PDF ranges focusing on the peninsular armies of WSS (both sides Spanish and Portuguese mainly, but hopefully also from those countries having deployed troops there).
Just as announced some weeks ago, a first set of War of Spanish Succession 28mm flags has already been released, devoted to the catalan "Saint Eulalia" Infantry Regiment. This set stands as a DIN A7 sheet comprising both king's and regimental colours for the mentioned unit and can already be acquired from our website. This very same flagsheet has been edited for 15mm and 20mm too --albeit under a 3-months pre-order program. So that, depending on its final results, thse versions will be also paper printed, or otherwise commercialized as PDF files. They can be checked here: 20mm version and 15mm version, respectively.
That's not all though, for a second set is already on the way; this one devoted to the also catalan "General Deputation" Infantry Regiment --one of the senior units in Charles Habsburg's army. Once again, its 28mm version will be directly brought to printers while its smaller sisters have fallen into the above mentioned pre-order program. All them can be checked and eventually pre-ordered from the following links: 28mm version, 20mm version and 15mm version.
Those of you fond of 18th c. gaming know that several brands are already offering quite comprehensive ranges of flags in virtually all the scales this period is gamed in. Would it be any room for another one, then? So I think, indeed. The reason why is that very few of the existing collections (if any) do include the armies of the peninsular theatre itself: either the flags own to Philip V and Charles VI, or even the Portuguese ones.
Helping to fill such huge gap is my intended goal. Therefore, following the request of a customer, Minairons is about to start editing a thoroughful range of War of Spanish Succession (1701-1715) military unit flags.
We are planning to produce such flags as small DIN A7 sheets (as customary amongst us) comprising two flag designs --the King's colour and the Regiment's colour of one given unit each. Sets will be designed primarily for 15, 20 and 28mm altogether; with a door open to edit them later for 6 and 10mm too, depending on demand.
Once a given set is designed and edited, its 28mm version will be immediately taken to printshop and made available. Otherwise, the 20 and 15mm versions of it will be put in webshop under pre-order status, awaiting user orders on them; so that a range will be printed when is met a minimum number of requests on the sheets belonging to it. Provisionally, I've set that minimum to hundred (100) units.
If eventually a given range (15 or 20mm) does not meet such minimum after a period of time, then I'll resign taking it to printshop; anyway, I'll make the affected sheets available alike, but as a downloadable PDF instead. Let's suppose provisionally a 3 months' term for doing so.
As already commented above, I'm planning to leave room for reproducing the range in 6 and 10mm too, depending on your requests. On this matter, there are still some decisions around to be taken, affecting product format (printed paper? PDF? 6-10mm versions separate or combined? and so). Let's take some time to keep thinking around, still. Your comments at regard can be decisive.
