More flaggy goodness (but no pics yet)

In possibly the greatest news about anything that has ever happened (possibly a slight exaggeration) Scrontch's Flag Designer (link) has had an upgrade and now has some new symbols.

A hammer-and-sickle, skull-and-crossbones, clenched fist, lion rampant, dove and bull's head 'charges' (as I believe they are called) have now been added to the set.

This opens up more flaggy possibilities, especially for socialist factions for VBCW (pretty obviously) but also I would think for more general military and heraldic purposes. A long time ago, for instance, I mentioned Captain Cadman and the 'Fighting 43rd' Regiment (here and here... 10 years I've been going on about this now!), and how my kids (who are now grown up, Orc Minimus is now 22 and living in a different city with his fiance; Orc Minissimus (Minunculus?) is celebrating his 18th birthday today) were members of the 43rd Leicester Scout Troop ... this lead me to a consideration of the 43rd (Prince Rupert's) Regiment of Horse and its potential heraldry.

I will no doubt be experimenting with various new designs. In the meantime, just letting you know about this momentous occasion!
