Grenadiere

General purpose infantry. Highly adaptable, can tackle any kind of battlefield situation under a skilled commander.

Overview
The heart of the Wehrmacht infantry divisions, Grenadiere were methodically trained, capably led, and well-equipped. The product of incessant fighting and extensive combat experience, these men were the equal of any soldier of the war.

Armaments: (K98k x4, MP 40), *G43 x2, *G43-Zf4, *MG 42, Skill: Regular, Role: General purpose.

Gameplay
(+ Entrench Tanks, + Doctrinal Upgrades)

Unlike Volksgrenadiere, Grenadiere are better suited for medium- to long-range engagements. Their accurate rifles pair well with their early access to various rifle grenades. Coupled with their skill and discipline, it should come as no surprise Grenadiere are the core of the German infantry forces.

The MG 42 provides both high damage and suppression against troops in the open, while the G43-Zf4 marksman rifle aids in harassing enemy positions at range. Two G43s provide a flat increase in firepower should the squad need to engage in close-quarters, or is constantly on the move.
