For my own convenience, this battalion is composed of 3 figures each in the uniforms of my 4 Musketeer regiments.
Hessian (Hesse-Cassel) infantry regiments were composed of single battalions, each with 5 Musketeer or Fusilier companies, and one company of Grenadiers.
The Grenadier companies of four different infantry regiments were combined to form each Gfenadier battalion.
While the Grenadier battalions did not ordinarily carry standards, I have loaned them one of the all white Leibcompagnie colors, which were carried by the first company of each line battalion (the other four companies carried the colored standards).
Miters are so 1700's! :-)
The Grenadier battalions saw action at most of the many battles that the Hessian troops fought during the American Revolutionary War.
Vorwarts!
These are Perry figures with a flag by Adolfo Ramos.
Very nice work and very colourful, I know they didn't carry colour but units on the table top always look better with them!
