Is this Emsdorf?

An unexpected party.
It's school holidays so I'm free & one of my pals, also a teacher who usually runs off to Victoria in Break, is clearly available.
Another pal is taking an 'RDO' from work & I've invited a work colleague who is unexpectedly released from army reserve stuff* so a game is 'on' for Friday; kick-off at 9.
I thought SYW & what better than Emsdorf - where a French advance party is surprised & routed by a force Hanoverians, Hessians & British.
All good except I don't have any Hanoverians, Hessians or British so Frederick's Prussians will need to stand in.
And I'd like the game to last till after lunch so I'll beef up both forces.
Also, the real battle ended up a type of cross-country chase & I don't have that length of board so I'll station the French army (immobile) at one end as a finish line.
So, is this still Emsdorf or am I fooling myself?

.* no idea what they're doing....preparing for war with China?....organising a cake stall to raise money for equipment?
