Hello,
ReplyDeleteVery interesting blog. Thank you for sharing.
The Osprey book by Peter Hofschroer, Prussian Reserve, Militia & Irregular Troops: 1806-15 contains a slightly different Order of Battle than yours. It gives the French as 4 battalions of the 3rd Ligne, one battalion of the 105th Ligne, a horse battery, and just a company of the 28th Chasseurs a Cheval.
The book has a good section on the battle.
Cheers,
Ed

I don't have that book (it's the only Peter Hofschroer's I don' own!). I have increased one battalion more to give Pecheux amore chances and ditto for the Chaseurs a Cheval
