Grenadiers were specialized units in the British Army during the American Revolutionary War. They were roughly comparable to the Italian Brutes and Byzantine Almogavars, being slower than other soldiers, and fighting with heavy weapons and muskets. Grenadiers were recognizable by their narrow, tall, mitre shaped headgear designed not to obstruct or fall while throwing grenades.
Combat
Grenadiers were tough and could not be directly countered or executed. However, they could have their defense broken easily and could be tripped, leaving them vulnerable to further attacks.
Trivia
- Grenadiers appeared to be modeled on Scottish 42nd Royal Highlanders, as indicated by their kilts, when in actuality British grenadiers consisted of many different units.
