Tomorrow's Valmy Refight Orders of Battle

Valmy is one of the few early French Revolutionary Wars battles with a detailed OoB for both sides. The Allies are readily available but the chaotic nature of the Republican army's organisation during the early years of the Constitution and Republic means that there is often little to go on. Life is too short to dig deeper, so a bit of 'guesstimating' is required, flavoured with a little of 'what I've actually got in the way of troops'. I digress. For Valmy we do have OoB, thanks to Naftziger and Digby Smith among others.

Now as reader(s) will know I'm not short of little men for the FRW, and over recent years my pension has suffered the ravages of my very own Levée en Masse. OK, I don't have loads of volunteers and Garde Nationale units (yet, they're in the box of doom waiting their turn to be mobilised) nor do I have 1792 Prussians, but I do have 1792 French regulars, lots of 'les Blues' battalions and a rather large and lovely 1806 Prussian army that will all have to do.

So, here are the OoB for tomorrow's game, suitably bath-tubbed of course. I do not claim these as being any more than the best I can fudge given the info and figures I have.
