Refighting Fontenoy (part two)

MY opponent, as I had no doubt he would, has chosen to command the French and so take on the persona of his hero, Maurice de Saxe.

De Saxe is in the left-foreground, to the rear of the Gendarmes de la Garde - diagonally ahead of them is the fortified village of Fontenoy

De Saxe's right wing, which will get a 10-sided die for action points, has four battalions of foot, four squadrons of horse and two batteries of artillery.
One of the batteries is on the far side of the Scheldt and has an extended roundshot range of 36cm; the other battery is in the rdoubt.

The four battalions of the French right are Piémont in Antoing beside the Scheldt, Navarre between them and the redoubt, Champagne between the redoubt and Fontenoy, and Normandie in Fontenoy. The squadrons are (left to right) Orléans Dragoons, Languedoc Dragoons, Curiassiers du Roi and, with de Saxe, the Gendarmes 

De Saxe's left wing, which will get a 12-sided die for action points, has six battalions, four squadrons, two batteries and a unit of light infantry.

The front rank of the French left has Grenadiers de France, an artillery battery, Picardie Foot and Touraine Foot, with Poitou beside the redoubt, which has a second batery. The second rank has the Wittmer and Alsace battalions and Beaufremont Dragoons, with Dragoons du Roi beside Poitou. Directly behind Dragoons du Roi are La Reine Cavalerie alongside Bretagne Cavalerie, and in the wood are Chasseurs de Fischer.

The Pragmatic left wing, which will get a 10-sided die for action points, has four battalions of Dutch foot, four squadrons of horse (one Dutch, three Austrian) and an artillery battery.

The white-coated squadron is Hohen-Ems Cuirassiers, with Liechtenstein Dragoons alongside and Sachsen-Gotha Dragoons to the rear. The Dutch squadron beside the foot is Hessen-Homburg Horse with, in the front rank, the Smissaert and Aylva (further from Hessen-Homburg) battalions supported by the Oranje-Groningen and Buddenbrock battalions 

The Pragmatic right wing, which will get a 12-sided die for action points, has six battalions, four squadrons and two batteries.

The three battalions in the front rank are (left to right) Royal Foot, Buffs and Royal-Buffs Grenadiers, with behind them the Hanoverian battalions von Zastrow and von Klinkowström and alongside them the 5th Marines. Two British squadrons, Queen's Own Dragoons and Royal Horse Guards, are on the left, with the lone figure of the Duke of Cumberland near them. On the right is The Green Horse and Hanover's von Aldeleben Dragoons

Looking from behind the Duke of Cumberland

Before battle commences I normally allow each player to make three repositionings, the only condition being that, at least for this battle, no unit can be placed further forward than its initial position.
We diced to see who would reposition first. We both rolled a 4, which meant de Saxe, thanks to his +1 modifier for being a great general, got to choose, and he asked me to go first.
I swopped the position of the Marines in the second rank on the right flank with von Zastrow's Foot (this counts as only one repositioning), the point being that the Marines can fight as light infantry and so can be used to take on the Chasseurs de Fischer in the Bois de Barry.
I am actually thinking of not entering the wood, but it is as well to let de Saxe think I might.
De Saxe moved the figure of himself to alongside the Alsace Foot in the French left's second rank.
I attached Cumberland to von Klinkowström's Foot  - one advantage of doing this being that a general does not need a separate action point to move if he is attached to a unit. He also adds +1 when a unit has to test its morale, but is eliminated if the unit he is attached to is eliminated.
De Saxe passed on his next repositioning opportunity, as did I.
With just a final note to say weather will not play a part in the battle, we are ready to start. As usual, I will write up the action contemporaneously, ie turn by turn.
