Spicheren - French Setup

MY opponent, 'Reg', as a dyed-in-the-wool Francophile, has chosen to take on the persona of General Charles Frossard.
He commands the French force of six units of infantry, one of cavalry and one of artillery, and from now on I will refer to him by his adopted name.
Nearest the camera, guarding the depot at Forbach are zouaves, with a brigade of dragoons ahead of them
The French artillery are on the high ground between the Stiring-Wendel ironworks and the town of Spicheren, both of which are occupied by a brigade of infantry, as is the fortified Rotherberg.
The view my Prussians will get of the French dug in on the Rotherberg
