Alsace was the site of a colonisation some millennia ago. Something went wrong in the attempted colonisation of the planet, and the colonists were reduced to an almost Hunter-Gatherer society using primitive weapons such as the bow and spear. Another type of Grenadier was the Grenadiers à Cheval de la Garde Impériale - (Horse Grenadiers of the Imperial Guard). Like their infantry Grenadier counterparts, these horse-mounted soldiers were chosen for their size and strength (heavy cavalry).

| - Alsace was the site of a colonisation some millennia ago. Something went wrong in the attempted colonisation of the planet, and the colonists were reduced to an almost Hunter-Gatherer society using primitive weapons such as the bow and spear. Black powder was discovered sometime in the late 30th millennium and muskets invented not long afterwards. The tactics used by the armies of Alsace were similar to the Line Infantry tactics of 18th-19th Century Earth. A Grenadier was originally a specialized soldier, first established as a distinct for the throwing of grenades and sometimes assault operations. At that time grenadiers were chosen from the strongest and largest soldiers. After multiple major reforms in tactics the throwing of grenades was no longer relevant, but grenadiers were still chosen for being the most physically powerful soldiers and would lead assaults in the field of battle. Grenadiers would also often lead the storming of fortification breaches in siege warfare. Another type of Grenadier was the Grenadiers à Cheval de la Garde Impériale - (Horse Grenadiers of the Imperial Guard). Like their infantry Grenadier counterparts, these horse-mounted soldiers were chosen for their size and strength (heavy cavalry). When the Alsatians peoples were discovered by a Death Korp of Krieg Regiment in 485.M41, en-route to their homeworld, first contact was bloody. Alsace had just recovered from a 200 year long war to unite the world under one banner, and almost half of the world's population had perished from war and famine. The Alsatians speak a very bastardized version of Low Gothic, and the Kriegs first attempt to negotiate ended in a firefight and a blockade to the planet. When an official ambassador of the Imperium arrived, the Alsatians people at first did not wish to join, nonetheless ten years later, Alsace was considered a core world of the Imperium of Man. The Grenadier Guards of Alsace are a highly disciplined and highly trained regiment of the Imperial Guard and the regiments raised on Alsace seek - in their own words -" Gloire de l'Empereur-Dieu !, Gloire à la Garde! (Glory for the God-Emperor!, Glory to the Guard!).
