British Grenadiers Custom Battles Where Are They ?

So .......

Where,s my British grenadiers ???

Custom battle only.

They would come in handy in many instances and they are not even in the British custom battle list.

British grenadiers are not included in any current versions of NTW.
Perhaps in later DLCs they might be included.

So the French get them and the British, dont have them British grenadiers where the best on the field they out passed any other unit of their type.

DLC would be OK but they should be their big part of British history THE BRITISH GRENADIERS.

i dont know about you, but im not paying for something that should of been their in the first place.

Maybe someone will mod them in later on? But I am certain we will see them in a DLC pack soon

I will pay for it but they better be worth it and more powerful than all the other grenade type units.




Or accept them free VIA mod.

Yes true.

Mod,s AWAY.......

They should be included that's true.
Or the famous march British grenadiers just makes no sense.

I remember CA gave a specific reason for not including them - they wanted to make the factions more diverse and so didn't want to give Britain grenadiers (as well as the fact that they didn't use grenades in this period).

They did use them but rarely but they where the best on the field to expensive.

I understand but i still want British grenadiers .

My favorite unit except the 44th black watch now thats a unit.

They had ceased using grenades well before the turn of the century. The name was simply traditional, rather than descriptive.

Grenadiers were not that distinguished from normal line during the Napoleonic era, the big fuzzy-wuzzy bearskins we all know and love come a bit later

You mean earlier? The bearskin was fading away even during the AWI.

Not distinguished apart from being, "of all the world's great heroes, there's none that can compare" to them? Quite.

I think its criminal to not include them. It's equivalent to not include Napolean's Old Guard, who, may I note, are in game.

Historical facts aside: it's quite clear that France is the "primary" or "main" faction in the game just like the Romans were in RTW by having the most diverse unit selection. Britain has just been brutally simplified for production speed and DLC plans.

How unpatriotic of CA.

If Britain didn't produce grenadier regiments they shouldn't be able to produce grenadier regiments in the game. Simple as that really.

historically, the 'regiment' sizes in the game are unrealistic. might as well include grenadiers as recruitable unrealistic regiments, continuing with the unrealism but at least acknowledging that they exist. you really cannot piss off the historically-inclined crowd anymore than CA already has, and you'd be increasing unit variation just a tad bit (which is a plus) and appeasing the many GB players.

No wonder we lost some battles who,s idea was it to disband grenadiers ? Or not use them ?

The reason that CA didn't include Grenadiers for Britain was because Britain didn't detach grenadier companies from parent battalions in order to form assault battalions. Most of the other powers did however.
