Flags Needed...Again

[SetuSinger]

[SIZE=1] I did remember another insurgency group from the early 90's, however: the RAF (Red Army Faction, not Royal Air Force) in Germany, opposing the 'annexation' of East Germany by West Germany.

The Rote Armee Fraktion wasn't really a group from the 90's. Their "high time of terror" was in the late 70's where they killed for example the german "Arbeitgeberpräsident" (don't know the english word. A guy who represents the industry or so) H. M. Schleyer and made several other attacks on persons from the industry + some bankrubbings.

With the mid-80's they somehow dissapeared and some people even say that the few actions credited (sorry, the use of credited may be a bit missunderstanding, but I again don't remember a word...) to them where in reality done by state police or something like that.

But there's no proof for that.

Fact is that the hot time of RAF - terror was over since 1977 and in 1998 (or so) they sended a letter (or some guys seeing them selfs as the raf of then) to the media whitch said they where disbanding themselves.

Thanks for the data! I just remember a particular Time magazine article from 1991 mentioning them as still being more or less active. Stratch them from the list, I guess. But I'm sure the others lasted longer.

I need flags from year 1700: Sweden, Russia, Poland/Saxony (a mix perhaps), Denmark, Prussia and Hannover.. Anyone want to help me?

[Heresson]

I could give You a set of Polish flags from 1570's... but 1700's I don't know...

But there's this flag site that Spniash Civ Site I think has link to.
Go search for it there

@Patine, on the Modern Unit graphics thread, I posted an IRA gunman I had a go at with a unit shield.

[Arthedain]

Heresson: I couldn't found all the flags I'm looking for there. :/

[Patine]

@vodkakov:
I just got your IRA gunmen. They will do nicely, I think. Thanks a lot. Now all I need is Basque and Chechen rebels (I'm not sure as to their organizations' initials, so if anyone knows, please tell me), either shields or whole units, and a good modern (2001+) Rwandan flag and shield. Thanks!

[Patine]

@Sarsstock:
If you have a good new Rwandan flag, I'd be most obliged. BTW, I'll get someone to edit that North American flag right away (I'd tried myself, but made a great mess). I do endeavor to get that scenario off the ground.

[vodkakov]

ETA, short for Euskadi Ta Askatasuna (Basque Homeland and Liberty) is the name of the Basque group. I'm not too sure if there are any specific groups in Chechnya... well, there are lots of Al Qaeda-linked groups, but I'm guessing you're not after names of Arabs fighting in Chechnya, but the actual Chechens themselves.

[vodkakov]

There are three Chechen groups on the US's blacklist of terror groups: Islamic International Brigade, the Special Purpose Islamic Regiment and the Riyadus-Salikhin Battalion.

[vodkakov]

I'm not too sure what a good shield would be for the Chechens either, there seem to be pretty conflicting accounts... some say they fly the official Chechen flag, others the Saudi flag, others a flag with a grey wolf on it...

[Patine]

Now that you mention it, ETA does sound familiar in that context. As for Chechens, that's exactly right; I want the names of groups of Chechen rebels as opposed to the Arabs there. If any of you can give me units, or even just shields, I'd be most grateful (even a shield based on the administrative region of Chechnya within Russia would do). Thanks!

[Patine]

The flag you last linked would do, unless you know what the one with the grey wolf looks like (it might be funkier, if not potentially as accurate).

[vodkakov]

I dunno what the wolf one looks like, I made a rebel with the national flag. (See: modern graphics thread)

[Sarsstock]

Patine: Sorry for the delay man. I've budgeted some time tonight to work on your flags.
