Mt 3rd FOGN deployment. Can you count all the errors?

Army Deployment.Can you see all the mistakes?
Richard's army once again, modified by my army list. It failed. Completely.

  1.  The reserve division is not IN reserve.
  2.  It's deployed on the left flank.
  3. It's not deployed in the village it can use to anchor the flank.
  4. The division reserve is right behind the main unit, it should be in between both units and 4 inches (ca. 10 cm) further back. It can move up when needed.
  5. The unit on the hill should be behind the hill in a reverse slope and hidden until the enemy army is deployed. In FOGN you don't show your army list until it is all on table.
  6. The middle division needs its reserve brigade between them in chequer board fashion.
  7. The unit in the strong point village should be occupying it, not defending it.
  8. The strongpoint should, be in the opponents half  or my army must be behind it.
  9. The redoubt needs to be 2 unit blocks apart and if nothing else forward of the strongpoint. 
  10. The rough terrain should be further in the opponents half.
  11. The entire army should, be behind the strong point and redoubt. Having 2 redoubts AND a strongpoint will complicate matters for the enemy unless I then don't deploy my army behind it!
  12. A single cavalry unit is not a good reserve. 
  13. I should have put the left and centre flanks behind the right flank and only fought on that side of the table. A smaller army needs a small area to fightin
