Whose flags are depicted in M&B: Napoleonic Wars?

[Elshar]

I tried searching the forums. There's a few that I know for sure (The great powers, I think I see Scottish/Irish flags in there, Papal States, Czech flags?).

Does anyone know who the other flags represent? I'm assuming some are just made up, but it would be cool to know for sure what flag was what.

Hopefully this helps.

The yellow flag with the black lion is the flag of Flanders.

yeah I'm confused as to why they made a Nazi SS skull symbol a flag too

That symbol was used in the Prussian army I think for the Freikorps if I'm correct.

The Skull presents the Totenkopfhusaren(I believe), and has nothing to do with the Waffen SS

I think the earliest use in the Prussian army was during the war of Austrian Succession, by a regiment of hussars.

the last page, far right, top row, is the Lithuanian vytis (from their coat of arms)

That is indeed a Canadian flag, although unofficial and not in use until 1868. It is the most appropriate one though as during the early 1800s the Canadian colonies were not united and the official flags were the Union Jack which isn't Canadian specific.

Death's Head Hussars, aka Totenkopf.

Hey, thanks for the replies everyone! Knowing what the flags are adds to the game.

What about the flag with the crown and the N with the red background?
