I would like to add a flag to one of my elements for the Albanian army I am painting.
I could not find a flag, but while reading up on the Kingdom of Albania, it was mentioned that Charles of Anjou established the kingdom.
Should I be using the coat of arms for the Capetian House of Anjou for the flag?

Here's an in-game view of Andy Hooper's IV/69 Albanians (15mm Mirleton), at right, painted by Simon Bargery. Flag was hand-painted, by the way. While I can't vouch for the historical accuracy of this flag on the LH Gen element, it sure' does look cool. And, I am inclined to think Mr. Bargery did his research before painting this splendid little army. At left are my IV/55b Ottomans. And, if you're wondering what that blurry, single figure is at top-centre on the 40x40 base, why, it's a Pumpkin-Headed Scarecrow Barker-Marker, of course. (It was Hallowe'en.)

Thanks.
I agree, the flag looks cool.
I had seen it before, and thought it was for the more recent incarnation of Albania, but I will take your friend's example.
I have been painting the shields in yellows and blues like the Anjou coat of arms, but I don't think that is a big deal.
Nice to see the difference in quality of painting, as I have not been doing much washes or dry brushing (except for the mail armour), and your friend's Albanians look awesome!
