Battle Nations Wiki:Sandbox

Available at level 4, Grenadiers are the first non-projectile based unit available in Battle Nations. They fill a vital anti-armor role early on in the game.

Description
Grenadiers like explosions, and explosions remind them of their war history. These units hold 38mm Frag Grenades that explodes on contact with any solid, hard surface. The grenades are suitable for destroying Pillboxes and Watchtowers faster than bullets can, and can be really effective against any type of Artillery. Grenadiers play an important role of defeating their enemies behind other enemies.

Overview
The Grenadier is a unit under the Light Infantry category that can be trained through the Barracks once the player has reached the appropriate level.

The Grenadier is a useful early game infantry unit, able to use indirect fire to attack from the second row on the battlefield, even if blocked by an enemy in front of it. In addition they deal Explosive damage allowing them to deal damage to armored units.

However, they suffer from limited ammo capacity and huge reload time once their ammo is expended. In addition they are fairly fragile units.

In early levels from when Riot Troopers appear until Mini Tanks become available, these are the best unit to kill those pesky Riot Troopers and other Armored units.

Once upgraded, Flashbangs can be issued to your Grenadiers after conducting the proper research. Flashbangs will not do damage but will supress units easier. Though Flashbangs are available at Rank 2, all your Grenadiers have to make a choice about which weapon to equip coming into battle, so the replacing damage output is not a viable tactic at early levels. Grenadiers will gain an Ability slot at higher ranks (unconfirmed). At this point, it would be ideal to lob Flashbangs to catch and suppress units with multiple-hits (eg. Raider Champs, Brawlers, Commandos).

1.2 Overview
The Grenadier is a useful infantry unit, able to attack from the second row on the battlefield, even if it was blocked by an enemy in front of it. They have a relatively minor flaw, however; their ammunition is limited to three grenades. The grenades are useful for dealing with wild creatures (Raptors and Boars), as they can take a large chunk of damage off in one hit. Grenadiers are also useful for destroying watchtowers and tanks, although there is a very high chance they can be destroyed in the process. In early levels from when Riot Troopers appear until Mini Tanks become available, these are the best unit for kill those pesky Riot Troopers.
