Introduction

The Pavlovskiy Grenaderskiy Polk is a new Russian infantry based regiment. Pavlovskiy Grenadiers are a Russian Elite infantry regiment. They are recruited from the strongest and tallest men from the Russian Army. They are both stronger and more disciplined than the standard line infantry. It was founded on September The 1st and is looking to grow and become a very serious, yet fun regiment that all will enjoy. We welcome new players and seasoned veterans alike. Our main goal in this regiment is too provide a very welcoming and active group of friends, who in-game will become a killing machine.

Join now and become a Grenadier!

History

Historically, Pavlovsk Grenadiers were instantly recognisable on the battlefield as they retained a more traditional uniform while other units modernised their dress. This was an honour, given to them by Tsar Alexander after their gallant efforts at the Battle of Friedland. They retained the mitre cap that all other infantry units had relinquished, setting them apart and making them one of the most distinctive units of the Napoleonic era. This recognition was well deserved, as their bravery became legend. The grenadiers wore old-fashioned mitre-caps until the end of Napoleonic Wars. They covered themselves in glory at Eylau in 1807. James Arnold writes: "In one of the day’s most heroic actions, the Pavlovsk Grenadiers found themselves attacked simultaneously in front and rear by Klein’s French dragoons, The first rank held firm while the second and third turned to defend the rear". In 1807 for their gallant fight at Friedland Tzar Alexander ordered that the regiment should henceforth retain its mitres. In 1812 at Polotzk one battalion and detachment of Grodno Hussars was cut off by French cuirassiers and four infantry battalions, The Pavlovsk grenadiers however fought so valiantly that they even captured 100 prisoners. In 1813 for their valor in combat the Pavkovsk grenadiers were admitted to the Imperial Guard. In 1814-1815 in France due to their mitre caps they were the third most often depicted troops after the wild Cossacks and the Scottish Highlanders in their kilts.
