French Fini

TODAY I completed a battalion of Poitou infantry, which more-or-less finishes my French forces (especially when their Bavarian allies are taken into account).

Poitou Infanterie

Here is my full French army, with its Bavarian allies in support (the Bavarian units in the photo below are marked with a *).

Three 8pdr guns are at the front while lurking in the wood of fir trees are the Chasseurs de Fischer. In the main first line, from left to right, are Von Gschray Hussars (*), Royal-Cravate Cavalerie, Cuirassiers du Roi, four infantry battalions (Poitou, Wittmer, Touraine and Grenadiers de France), Gendarmes de la Garde, Colonel General Cavalerie and Bercheny Hussars. Between the two main lines is Maurice de Saxe, and behind him from left to right are Languedoc Dragoons, four infantry battalions (Alsace, Champagne, Navarre and Picardie) and Dragoons du Roi. To the rear are two squadrons of Hohenzollern Dragoons (*), two battalions of Kurprinz Foot (*) with a further half-battalion of Kurprinz Grenadiers (*) and the Prince de Soubise, and 9pdr and 6pdr guns(*).
