Nouveau French

BACK in March 2017, I blogged (http://timspanton.blogspot.co.uk/2017/03/french-fini.html) that my mid-18th century French army was more-or-less complete.
This was especially the case, I felt, for the War of the Austrian Succession if France's Bavarian allies were taken into account.
However, since then my plans for refighting the Battle of Dettingen - the 275th anniversary is this June - have expanded considerably.
Not only have my plans expanded, but there were no Bavarian troops at Dettingen to help the French oppose George II and the Pragmatic Army.
I have therefore been busy painting more French units, as well as some generals to command them.
Two battalions of foot, three squadrons of horse and generals Broglie, Noailles and Gramont have joined Les Bleus (although, since this is pre-Revolutionary France, I guess that should be Les Blancs).

In front of the bridge, exuberantly waving his hat, is the Duc de Broglie (he was created a duke after winning the Battle of Sahay in 1742). About to cross the bridge are La Reine Cavalerie, while to the right of the larger house are the Orleans and Beaufremont Dragoons. The nearer foot battalion is from Normandie; the other is from Piémont. With the infantry are the French commanders from Dettingen - the Duc de Noailles (in blue) and his nephew, the Duc de Gramont

I hope to post a picture of my complete French forces over the weekend.
