Life Guards

Costly, yet highly efficient, these slow-marching but immensely powerful units exemplify the grenadier tradition of bygone eras. Although they have traded in the mitres and busbys of the Napoleonic era for the more functional russian-style Picklhaube or Custodian Helmet, these men are no less impressive than their forbears and function as an elite infantry division meant to hold ground against all odds. While they function like their more inferior Rifle Infantry counterparts, the professionalism of this unit shows out especially when they are used to assault buildings and fortifications, being capable of demolishing fortifications unsupported by infantry.
