    In Napoleon Grenadiers are good because they have 30 more people per unit (to 90) plus greater variety
    Pavlovsk grenadiers: Crazy charge bonus
    Dutch Grenadiers: Shoot well, good melee
    Velite Grenadiers: Guards that throw grenades

    One tactic I've tried (only in campaign though) is something I've heard called the Carolean charge; you send grenadiers up the flank as the enemy engage your line infantry, fire a musket volley, then throw a volley of grenades, then charge as the grenades are going off. Tends to rout units pretty quick. That said, I'm using a mod (Goutlard's Fixed Firing Drills) that makes formations much closer and gives everyone volley fire, so it may be more effective than it should be.

      Nice tactic. I think what makes this tactic so deadly is you don’t lose the men like you do in melee. I will have to try out your tactic thank you sir

      @@FaramirsRangers These are not "tactics", these are just really lame exploits.
      This is nothing like how grenadiers were used in real life. TWE is already inaccurate enough without playing it that way as well.
      Why don't you give normal tips based on actual tactics, like you can use them to lob grenades over your line infantry, or over your artillery to protect them from charges, or that they're really good thrown down from fortifications? The Russians with launched Grenades are excellent behind guns to protect them from being charged down.

      @@Oscuros with any tactic I put on my channel you can take it for what it is, sharing my experience. If you don’t like it don’t use it. As for real tactics not much of how the game plays would be realistic not even in some of the mods that so called improve realism. No realism in a video game just fun. However if you do end up playing this game in multiplayer someone will use it on you so be ready.

    use to find the reload grenade mechanic really clunky,and tended to use their other great strength melee, or as great defenders of a position ie artillery.Historical note they should have the ability too form closed column,austrian and prussian ones at least, anti cav. and assault column,storming enemy positions only time columns are used in the age of linear tactics.Still streaming ?

    Grenadiers are my favorite unit. I put them on the my flanks behind line infantry at the outset of battle. Once the firing lines have stabilized move them around the side and come up on the enemy flank and move them down the line. After the break one unit move on to the next, rolling up the enemy lines and smoking em.

    @johnbu9098 9 месяцев назад +1

    Just shoot throw and charge, grenadiers have high melee stat for a reason. 80 men per unit means it’s always vulnerable in a prolonged battle. So shock tactic is always best suited for grenadiers. I don’t like grenadiers because as a small size shock tactics unit, I’m better off using light dragoons, green jackets, horse artillery or even just add more line Infantry to hold my lines better. I’m too lazy to micromanage these 80 men that don’t have long range or don’t ride horses.

    I know this vid is two years old but... you forgot one method. The sacrifice.
    Send in a weak unit, be it a unit with few men or a low value unit to the enemy. Get them in melee, then kill off both your men and his.
    Its a give and take obviously. But if he has some elite infantry that would simply kill off most of your grenadiers before they get there.
