    Hello,

    I was just wondering what you guys do for flag poles for 28mm Napoleonics.
    I’ve been informed that 1.6mm brass rods are ideal, and in my research I’ve come across the purported use of straightened paperclips, cocktail sticks and garden wire.
    I’ve looked at flagsofwar website but their information is a little vague.

    Can anyone here elaborate…

    Thanks.

    Hi Hawki,

    This is what I use: https://store.warlordgames.com/products/80mm-metal-pikes-50

    Warlord are not the only people to make these but I think this is a pretty good deal. You can cut them down to what ever length you need. Flags of War do fancy finials which you can glue on the end for Napoleonics. I use them mostly with the spear point for my Pike and Shotte stuff.

    Good luck!

    I use .81 mm brass rod or piano wire.

    Thanks guys.

    I actually ordered both suggestions here, I’ll go with my preference I think.

    Thank you.
