Non-Regional Flags 1

(Translation continues):

Not all formations within Herrschaden are drawn exclusivley from a particular region (ie geographical Distrikt). Such units already displayed include the Liebgarde, Liebregt and Schwerstahl Grenadiers.

Recruited from anywhere within Herrschaden,  gun crews are trained to a heightened standard, clearly unequalled anywhere in the known, or indeed, the unknown world. Many such members are drawn from the somewhat recently acquired region known as the Eisenberg. A heavy, tough mountanious region, bordering on the south-west of Erbach and to the west of the Schwerwald. Just like the terrain, just like the people. very tough, very resilient, very strong - in short, the epitomy of all Herrschadeners. They also like things that make big noises - such as cannon.
Such then has been the voluntary influx into the artillery formations, that an overflow of recruits persuaded Direktor Walther Picklesturm to raise an infantry-organized unit to maintain them. The units particular role is to provide on-battlefield protection and replacement crews for casualities amongst the gun crews. Such was the enthusiasm for this experiment, that Otto Schwarz von Blitzenkruz authorized (code ID: OIIIIIIIO) the official formation of the Artillerie Infanterie Regiment. Shown below are the unit and national-regimental colours carried by this formation.

Of note is the crossed-cannon symbols displayed on the main-field of the battalion colour and also shown in the diagonally opposite corners on the reverse of the same flag. Also note that this unit is uniformed and trained as infantry, with the distinguishing trim colour Blue - the same as artillery crews.

Distrikt Unit Flags 6

(Translation continues):

Directly East from Schellenberg and running north-south along the east bank of the Oesterfluss lies the highly strategic Distrikt of Oesterschaden. A dark and brooding region, with a climate and indigenous population to match. Open, windy, cold and unforgiving, to date this Distrikt has no eastern border. This Distrikt is Direkted by Direktorix Katarin Lahmia and provides a superbly drilled Light Horse Regiment. Naturally brilliant scouts, this regiment exists almost exclusivley on an advanced-warning operational footing and specializes in reconnaissance and raids, most especially under nocturnal conditions. The light-cavalry guidon displayed shows the Distrikt unit colour purple and the motto SCHNELL UND SICHER - SWIFT AND CERTAIN. 

Of note are the bone fragment symbols shown at centre, top and bottom of the standard.

Bordering to the North of Schellenberg and East of Banhalt, wedged along the Oesterfluss and close to the Baltsee is Distrikt Ostbanhalt. Once suitably Direkted this region has provided the Direktorat with full riverine capability and has recently begun maritime operations training. Ostbanhalt also provides two battalions of such trained infantry, with further scope to recruit a ships crew for the Direktorats first ocean-going  Battlecruiser (_____+_-_______) - note: name/further information deleted/unavailable at this time, by order of Otto Schwarz von Blitzenkruz, authorization code ID: OIIIIIIIO...

...displayed below are the battalion and national-regimental flags from this Distrikt. The distinguishing colour is Buff and the motto KEIN RUCKZUG - NO RETREAT.

 Note the unique Navigators Wheel symbol displayed in diagonally opposite corners of the battalion flags.

Distrikt Unit Flags 4

(Translation continues):

South of Schellenberg and South-East of Erbach, lies Distrikt Oebel. A heavily wooded region, deeply ensconsed within the Schwerwald, Oebel is home to a mark of hardy people, with great tracking and hunting skills. As this Distrikt borders on Schellenberg and the people no strangers to many varieties of domesticated and wild animals, the Direktors authorized the formation of a unit of mounted jaegar, also known in parlance as Dragoons. Not a battlefield cavalry, but a professional hunting infantry, mounted on smaller horses for rapid movement and insertion actions. In keeping with the Distrikts woodland origins combat role, the distinguishing colour is Green and the motto ERGREIFEN UND HALTEN - SEIZE AND HOLD.

Note the bugle-horn symbology displayed in diagonally opposite corners of this units guidon-style standard.

Distrikt Unit Flags 3

(Translation continues):

To the east of Banhalt and Erbach is the open region of Schellenberg. Bordering on the Oesterfluss, Schellenberg is open, prime cavalry country - a fact not overlooked by Direktor Rupert de Perignon, who administers this region and also (somewhat brilliantly) initiated an animal and especially cavalry-horse specific husbandry program. Schellenberg provides the Direktorat with superb numbers of highly experienced heavy cavalry, traditionally a single very large regiment, though there has been support on the board of Direktors, to raise extra cavalry units from this region. Shown below is the standard carried by the Schellenberg Heavy Horse, with the motto IMMER DURCH - ALWAYS THROUGH. The Distrikt distinguishing colour is Golden Yellow.

(Translation continues):

Following on from Distrikt Banhalt is Distrikt Erbach. Bordering Banhalt to the strategic south-west and now also incorporating the Eisenberg region, administered direktly by Direktor Walther Picklesturm...

...Erbach, not as geographically large as Banhalt and containing some reasonably open-area terrain, currently deploys 3 infantry battalions and a regiment of heavy cavalry. A region of integrated military traditions, Erbach formations are distinguished with the Distrikt colour Red. These units display the Distrikt motto ROLLENDONNER - ROLLING THUNDER.

 

Above are shown the flags of the Distrikts 3 infantry battalions and below, the cavalry standard of this Distrikts heavy horse regiment.

Distrikt Unit Flags 1

(Translation continues):

The Directorate of Herrschaden is divided into many districts. For non-Herrschadeners, this concept of division is often difficult  to understand. Distrikts are also known as regions (where geographical) or Direktorships (where administrative). A Distrikt can be both a region and a direktorship and to add into the mix, an Uberdirekorenschelle and/or Unterdirektorenschelle. Military formations are drawn from each Distrikt and named by the Distrikt, with additional numerics to differentiate the formations. Each Distrikt is distinguished by it's own trim, or facing/detail colour. This colour is worn on the uniform cuff and is also displayed as the base field colour of a Distrikt unit. As all uniforms material is supplied centrally and of the same dark blue material, each distrikt is responsible only for application of uniform trim-distinction colours.
Regions within Herrschaden have been defined along perfectly determined geography, as organized by Direktor Walther Picklesturm and of course fully authorized by Managing Direktor Otto Schwarz von Blitzenkruz (authority code ID: OIIIIIIIO).
*It is vital to note for the undirected, that ALL distrikts within Herrschaden are of equal status, as are all units recruited from within any one distrikt. Numerics are used purely for administrative purposes and thus a '1st Battalion' does not indicate that such a unit is in any way 'senior' or 'superior' to, for example a '4th Battalion' from the same or any other distrikt... 

This series of 'Distrikt Unit Flags', shows the various flags of units formed from within each such region and begins with Distrikt Banhalt....

.....Banhalt,  this Distrikt is the most populous and North-Westerly region within Herrschaden. From here are drawn the bulk of infantry. There are currently 4 battalions on service with the Banhalt Regiment. This Distrikt displays a trim colour of Pale Yellow. The following image shows the flags carried by all these battalions - a battalion/unit (or Distrikt) colour carried on the left of facing and each unit national/regimental colour carried on the right of facing, as follows:

The Regimental motto is MARZ ZUM ENDE - MARCH TO THE END.

The distrikt field colour and battalion numeric is also shown in the scroll on one side of the national-regimental flag. Each unit flag also displays the Distrikt name and unit numeric.
