With the latest release of candies from Warfare Miniatures is my intention to add a Prussian converged grenadier battalion to my units and the question is: this kind of unit were there equipped with flags? If yes, from which of the forming unit and which kind of flag (battalionsfahnen?). Thanks for any kind of help. |

Did they combine Grenadier companies that early ? Possibly for special jobs but not as a general rule. Later the rule was the leibfahne of the senior regiment. |

At Stresow 1715 were present at least five such a battalions. |

I doubt combined grenadiers had special flags, my Robert Hall plates make no mention of them(but it's very WSS centric) I don't know if early Prussians had company flags or just battalion flags. If they had company flags, then each company would carry a smaller version of the battalion flag. |

Looks like they collected the Grenadier companies from most of the regiments present to make the landing. As I said, a special job, so possibly not carrying flags other than their company one (if they were still using them at that date, I don't think the date at which they stopped using them is that certain). |
