Soooo, what happened here…? The answer- same as their regiments. There is no other answer… done_d |

Yes, same as their parent regiments. So in an average grenadier battalion of six companies (there were a few with four) each 'dvision' of two companies would have the same facing colour leading to three different colours in each battalion. As an example, in 1809, Grenadier Battalion Hahn had companies from IR 2 (Imperial Yellow), IR 33 (Dark Blue) and IR 39 (Poppy Red). |

That is how I painted them. Parent regiment's colors. It made sense (admittedly not a great reason for expecting anything to be a certain way, of course, if you read history.) |

I paint mine up with the same colour as the parent regiments – while it should be three colours per battalion the lazy painter in me mostly does two different colours per battalion |

It's not 100%, but it seemed to me that six-company battalions were more common in Germany and four-company battalions more common in Italy. But the nice thing is you can mix and match. |

@Fat Wally – you should provide a date/ time era/ campaign when giving such info… All such info is also available in the 'Redux' thread… of the 'Discussions' page_ much documented and detailed, over and over,

If you can get a copy of Essling, in the Histoire + Collections series,there's a plate at the end of the book with the 2 divisions of grenadiers, their groupings, colours, and parent battalion numbers. Recommended reading throughout, great illustrations. DD |

>>Recommended reading throughout, great illustrations. DD Err yeah, be careful with those. Not found to be 100% accurate as to shade or print quality I'm afraid. For their price they are, IMHO, less reliable than the much maligned Funckens, for whom I have immense respect in bringing the period alive .
Caveat Emptor!
