Horse Grenadiers

Thanks Hwiccee!
Baroque's implementation is to give grenadiers an addition to their Impetus bonus when charging enemy in a built-up area or behind a linear obstacle which seems to reasonably abstract your description of their use.

I had read somewhere that only officers had the match to light the grenade fuse which would cut down on impromptu use (and inadvertence explosions in the ranks). I was thinking they were used at Tangiers to defend against those attacking the outer works.

Reading accounts of Phillipsnorton I see the battle involved Royal Army grenadier units (incl Horse Grenadiers who had to rescue foot and horse units who made contact but couldn't withdraw). Given the presence of a barricade, I wonder if that was what they were trying to do, or whether they were simply being used as C17th 'Special Forces'?
