Complete French Army

AS promised yesterday, I have assembled my complete mid-18th century French Army (without Bavarian allies).
It now consists of five generals, nine regular foot battalions, one grenadier battalion, one unit of light infantry, three guns, four squadrons of dragoons, six squadrons of heavy horse and one squadron of hussars.
Unless my plans change, all will see action at my Dettingen refight with the exception of the Chasseurs de Fischer and generals Saxe, Soubise and Broglie.
In the foreground are three 8pdr guns. Behind them in the front row (left-to-right) are the Beaufremont Dragoons, five battalions of foot (Alsace, Poitou, Champagne, Normandie and Touraine) and the Languedoc Dragoons. The second row of foot has a further five battalions (Wittmer, Navarre, Grenadiers de France, Piémont and Picardie). Behind them are seven squadrons of horse (Orleans Dragoons, La Reine Cavalerie, Gendarmes de la Garde, Royal-Cravate Cavalerie, Cuirassiers du Roi, Colonel-Général Cavalerie and Dragoons du Roi). Finally, at the rear, are the Bercheny Hussars, five generals (Soubise, Broglie, Saxe,  Noailles and Gramont) and the Chasseurs de Fischer
