I recently bought some Grenadiers de Fischer from Minifigs. They are nicely sculpted with a that classic simple uniformity that seems, to me, to suit the period of the Seven Years' War. How should these be based? As light troop / skirmishers, or did they ever fight in close order? Can they be deployed as a separate unit or always attached to the flank of the Chasseurs de Fischer? |

Depends I think on the rule set you use but I would base them as skirmishers During the invasion of Hanover they were part of some advance guards suggesting they were skirmish/light infantry, but they also did some garrison work and served in defensive positions as well |

Depends on what rules or what numerical scale you use. The grenadiers would likely act as formed support for the chasseurs, or as a storming party, again in close order, but whether your overall basing conventions allow for that degree of detail is up to you. |
