That sounds right - and the map looks good too!
The only thing I don't get is why he brought up three lines of reserves to strengthen his flank - he'd only need two extra to form the triplex acies. Unless one of the lines was made up of skirmishers, perhaps on the extreme right? Or is there another explanation?
