Guys I have a unit of GNW Russian infantry painted with yellow coats and red cuffs, does anyone know of any units (French or Allied) in the WSS that had similar uniform details, I would like to be able to replace the Russian flags and use the unit in our WSS games.

The Danish foot guard wore (straw-) yellow coats with red cuffs.

Thanks guys, does anyone produce Danish flags?
Oh and also did the Danes have grenadiers in their battalions, if so what headgear would be worn?

Warfare will produce Danish flags soon, so they promise.

If your figures are in tricornes, the the two French regiments may be your best bet, since the Danish wore closed coats with two rows of buttons down the front in the WSS. Presumably, your Russian figures coats are like most other WSS figures, including the French.

All grenadier companies had 1701 been removed from their regiment in order to create the Grenadier corps. But it was decreed in 1704 (april 3) that the ordinary regiments should have 8 grenadiers in each company.

The only headgear for infantry grenadiers during the GNW that I know of is for the Grenadier corps. They had a brass plate and looked like this:

The Horse grenadiers of the Life Dragoon Regiment had on the other hand bearskin caps.
