Am I the only one who noticed that guard grenadiers changed weapons in the russian campaign? Or is this some kind of bug?

There was a change of weapon: in EW6 1806 they had muskets but in 1914 they have LMG... Cossacks had a lance, but in 1914 they were equipped with sabres. It is nice of course that ET make such changes, but I don't think it was really necessary. Besides, grenadiers with LMG are not to anyone's taste anyway  |

The first russian mission actually has guard grenadiers with musket. But the rest of the russian missions GG are equipped with LMG. |

Most lances were changed to cold weapon (sabres and the like) I believe. I dont think guard grenadiers would have muskets though in ew6:1914, kaidus do you have a picture of the mentioned campaign? |

I noticed it from the beginning, they are equipped with muskets in 19th century version(before the GREAT WAR). In 20th century, they are equipped with light machine guns. IMO I favour Old Guards due to their high defence and resistance.

Besides, grenadiers with LMG are not to anyone's taste anyway I really wanted cossacks to have lances in this game so that I get to shout «Impale» whenever they charged through 2 units. Probably sounds a bit weird but that’s just me. I like spears. Grenadiers with LMGs are awesome. I don’t know if they make sense historically but it’s so much better than Rifle in this game. |

I think for units before certain years or generally before WW1, muskets are commonly used.
Then, ET made them switch it out for different and better arms.

I don't why, but I feel Guard Grenadiers to be excellent in flanking and having a breakthrough, they could easily kill those artillery and encircle them. |
