Fench Army: Gen. de Division Joubert:

    34,930 (32,843 infantry and 2,087 cavalry) -- Jomini
    37,252 (35,487 infantry and 1,765 cavalry -- St. Cyr

* [26th Light inf] Jomini and St. Cyr list this unit with Brigade Grouchy and Brigade Partouneaux.

** Jean Lochet's research differs. The 12th and 30th may have been demi-brigades.

    Brigade Guerin: 3rd Line, 106th Line, 8th Light, 16th Dragoons, 19th Chasseur
    Brigade Petitot: 15th Light, 17th Light, 7th Chasseurs
    Brigade Darnaud: 12th Line, 30th Line, 25th Chasseur
    Brigade Calvin: 62nd Line, 78th Line

Unit strengths, where given, are from Lochet.

Duffy does not list the 7th Chasseur, but the 2nd Chasseur. If they are one in the same, Duffy places the unit with the Left Wing Reserve, not with Brigade Petitot.

*** [19th Dragoons] Lochet lists the 19th Dragoons under Richpanse in Left Wing Reserve.

**** [Artillery] It's possible that 13 additional cannon were with the reserve.

Each rectangle represents an infantry bttn, scaled to represent approximate strength. Each triangle represents a cavalry squadron. Each artilery piece is represented by a gun icon.
