I don't know if anyone said this yet, but France should get hussars and cuirassiers. And France should get a slight advantage on cavalry over other nations as well as Prussia in infantry. I mean the french had the best cavalry in Europe, while the prussians boasted the best infantry of the world.
At some point hussars and cuirrassiers will be added to France.
Prussia did not have the best infantry in Europe in 1702 (mod's start). Prussia is a new kingdom that was just a duchy a few years previous and this is not the era of Frederick the Great that begins in the 1740's so your about 3 to 4 decades too early in your assessment.
The best infantry in Europe at this time? The case could be made for Sweden although this Great Northern War will shatter that advantage. But I would think most European observers of the period would have, if being objective, pointed to the Swedes and possibly the Dutch and this war would make the reputation of the redcoat of GB as well.
