I am currently planning on refighting Dettingen and in my research I've struggled to find relative stats for the units involved. I'm not sure which brigades I should be giving shooting bonuses to, for example, and I'm not sure if I should be giving cavalry the benefit of shooting at all. The French at the time used words like Cuirassier in a slippery way and I've found conflicting accounts of the differences in skill and equipment of the forces. Any good sources for this? Who used shock cavalry and who used the "trot and shot" method in this period?
