TOPIC: Basing WSS British Grenadiers |
What is the normal way of basing British grenadiers for the WSS? Base them with their parent units or as formed units of grenadiers? |
Standard User Posts: 53 srfaruqui 26th Jun 2021 05:29:14 Interesting period - seriously under-taught in English schools (don't know about Wales, Scotland and NI) and my first non-heavy metal wargame army. My solution (with the Black Powder rules in mind) was a whole battalion on three 20x20 bases and a movement tray. Currently two ranks deep, (although considering re-basing to three deep after seeing piccies elsewhere on this forum), with four grenadier figures on the far right (two and two). Obvious issue is forming battalion-sized grenadier detachments, as happened, and I am still thinking about that one..... BikesBrownBeer&ToySoldiers

In the WSS grenadiers normally stayed with the parent units in field battles, sieges are a different matter. There were some exceptions of permanent grenadier units rather than combining the grenadiers from the line units. But other than this combined grenadier units were rare and given there were also only a few permanent units then grenadier units were not common.

Many thanks for that |
