  • 3 people were destroyed by British Grenadiers.

  • Stand in a line. March forward. Through explosions and fire. Stand upright, stiff upper lip. Fire your musket. Take a bullet in the chest. Northing to worry about. Reload. Fire again. No more blood in the body to keep standing upright. Fall dead. - The life of a British Grenadier.

    Bear in mind the muskets were only accurate up to around 60 meters, maybe 100 with rifling. It's difficult to reload a muzzle loader from prone, and the smoke would give your postition away anyway if you were hiding. also, with one shot at a time and a ~30 second reload time, their muskets weren't terribly good for covering fire or fire and manuever either.
