They are armed with the iconic Brown Bess musket and wear the distinctive bearskin cap that made them appear even taller and more menacing.

The single grenadier company of the 5th was tasked to lead attacks and act as shock troops to break through enemy lines. In some cases the grenadier company was joined to the grenadier companies of other regiments to form their own battalion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;\"\u003eThe 5th Regiment of Foot (later Northumberland) arrived in the colonies in late 1774 to garrison Boston amid growing colonial unrest. On April 18, 1775, it was grenadiers of the 5th that were part of the advance guard sent to confiscate colonial arms at Concord and the first to engage with the militia. They were heavily involved in the retreat and suffered many casualties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;\"\u003eAt Breed’s Hill on June 17th they were part of all three frontal attacks. In the third and final assault against the redoubt grenadiers of the 5th helped successfully route the colonists at the point of their bayonets. It was a Pyrrhic victory though as the grenadier company was decimated and would take months to rebuild.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e wargames Atlantic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Historical\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMiniatures \/ Books \/ Other:\u003c\/strong\u003e Miniatures\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistorical Options:\u003c\/strong\u003e American Revolution\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaint Options:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unpainted\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMPN:\u003c\/strong\u003e WAAAR002\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12-16 Years\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\/Region of Manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e United Kingdom\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"wargames Atlantic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56961427210588,"sku":"WAAAR002 (6)","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1007\/5776\/6492\/files\/10_8b4bf086-c194-4d88-a9d9-ea9d2db73362.jpg?v=1773136956","url":"https:\/\/evilmushroomgames.com\/products\/wargames-atlantic-5th-regiment-of-foot-grenadiers-28mm-scale-1-x-sprue-unboxed","provider":"Evil Mushroom Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
