Grenadier

For I feel like a fighter.

Like a grenadier.

True friends came a-marching to Grenadiers, returning at

last to their homeland.

They plied in enemy prison for years, for tidings to plant their homeland.

The news that the world had received long before, the true Grenadiers heard in anguish.

For France had been crushed by the fortress of war, And the emperor, the emperor was banished.

Then one day together, when the day was over, To his son, to his son returning.

The beach is really a string of three potential landing beaches, each with a small headland in between them, and the French are perched on the headlands.

And so Sinclair's got the Grenadiers as his first wave, backed up with some of his infantry in the first contingent of boats, and they're pulling towards the westernmost of the beaches, which currently has no Frenchmen on it, so that seems an obvious place to go.

the French clock where they're going, and they all come down off the headland and go and defend that beach.

oh dear, you would think.

Oh, sorry.

No, this is the Grenadier dude.

So got

aggressive, ran up, won there, pushed it.

What was the unit makeup?

It was two units of European Militia Cav, one unit of Grenadiers.

Watch

out, he's going to doctor, he's going to sturgeon your list right

So, yeah.

I was surprised that they did as well as they did.

And then the Grenadiers, I got them in buildings almost every game.

And then they were with socket bayonets.

Yep, just for the record, he had zero assault intercessors.

One? I had one? One? That was Grenadier.

He had the Grenadier.

He's got a pencil.

Bullying was

I'm

voting for C. C? Yeah.

Intercession Squad were really that, right? Like, you had one Grenadier and one Sarge, and then, like, four chainsaw guys.

The West Brigade, meanwhile, held a fragile, ill-defined line.

Z Company of the 1st Middle Six and Rajput survivors at Leighton Hill in the north, the 2nd Royal Scots in the northern slopes of Mount Nicholson, and the Winnipeg Grenadiers minus D Company were still clinging to pillboxes at the Wangnichong Gap.

The 220th Regiment moved first, tasked with clearing Post Bridge House of its remaining defenders.

Simultaneously, the 229th dispatched reconnaissance teams past Violet Hill towards the cliffs overlooking Repulse Base Hotel.

Colonel Rose, the Hong Kong volunteer commander, assumed control of the West Brigade following Brigadier Lawson's death.

He spent much of the 20th preparing an ambitious counterattack.

The 2nd Royal Scots and Winnipeg Grenadiers would drive towards the gap from the West, supported by B Company of the Grenadiers, brought up from Pokvulam on the island's western coast.

The operation commenced rather poorly.
