Grenadiers

Grenadiers which still exsist today were the toughest soldiers of their time! To be a grenadier you had to be 6 feet tall and had to be a very large person. You had the toughest training and would be the first wave of soldiers onto the battle field. Grenadiers used to carry grenades but the use of grenade throwing ended around 1720. Grenadiers can easily be identified by their tall mitre hat or bear skin hats that would be around 1 foot tall. The point of these hats were to scare the enemy. Imagen seeing hundreds of grenadiers now 7 feet tall because of the hats. They also used these hats because it was easier to throw grenades instead of having it fall of like a tri-corn hat.

Now, lets cut to the point. I suggest that if anyone is forming a guild they should make their soldiers grenadiers. For many reasons, you can use grenades, make your own uniform, etc. You should also only accept the tallest you can find, remember this is heavy infantry, the shock soldiers, not regulars!!

If this did not convince you see some videos of grenadiers!
