OK my thoughts, use every aspect of the military system to your advantage. (Note: No diamonds were used in the construction of any offensive GBs mentioned in this post.) With +20% offensive bonus then you start to find enemy field guns do 0-2 damage to your grenadier and wounded field guns do zero damage +35% offensive bonus (if I remember correctly) then wounded enemy musketeers only do 1-3 bars of damage to your Grenadier with +50% (maybe less) offensive bonus then a field gun can regularly 2-shot a musketeer (you don't need this much bonus to take advantage of this tactic but by this point is starts getting pretty easy) and with +70% offensive bonus I am now finding I can do most CA battles (where the opponent has a large contingent of ranged or heavy infantry troops) without taking any damage at all (even if the opponent has +50% defensive bonus). One Grenadier and seven Field Guns (without having an offensive GB) can deal with some CA armies consisting of half or more ranged or heavy infantry troops if you are (very) careful. If you then use Field Guns (or other long or possibly short range troops) to support the Grenadiers and use them to shoot-to-wound (and don't waste shots killing heavily wounded units that aren't in range of your long range troops - since if a unit has taken damage then the damage it will deal others is reduced so poses even less risk to Grenadiers) while keeping your army back and letting one or two Grenadiers take the damage then you can take on most CA armies. If you are in CA and have a small (but significant) offensive bonus from Great Buildings then you can start (ab)using the fact that Grenadiers also count as ranged troops so enemy ranged troops will target Grenadiers if they are closer to them than your other ranged troops and the Grenadiers have enough defence (thanks to the GB bonus) that enemy ranged troops do not have enough damage to hurt them significantly. Tactics also depend on whether or not you have offensive Great Buildings.
