Another problem with GCH units is that several were either rumps, or were recently formed (within the previous 12 months) following internal reorganisations and/or the disaster at Charleston.
I agree with Ronan.I'm also using GCH for the background of my american army,other then the GCH NC militia flag I've haven't found any concrete evidence of flags carried by the american units involved.
Rather then give in to frustration,I've decided to view it in the light of expermination and freedom to interpret.
For example for my CinC I might use the GCH flag itself to represent what army I'm trying to display.For my line regiments I might use versions of the "Betsy Ross" flag with different color trim to seperate the regiments and for the militia just use common slogans and maybe invent a few practical ones for some flavor.
I personally follow the lines of atmosphere over exactly correct uniforms and flags that only the very educated would know the difference.
Concentrate more on the overall apperance then on small details.Regiments that are painted well and fit the part will be forgiven inaccuracies.What I'm saying is try and get it close and then don't sweat the small stuff.
