Turn 1 - 1756, Early September

So, Saxon forces have retreated behind the walls of Pirna and I must relieve them before it's too late.

The situation at the start:

Prussia has around 70,000 troops in three columns. I have around the same amount of troops in three different formations. First line, led by Joseph Luccese with 19188 men of which 8276 are on horseback and 96 cannons. Second line, led by useless Emmanuel Kollowrat with 25729 men (6985 on horseback) and 240 cannons. Both of these formations are stationed in Prag and are ultimately led by Maximilian Browne. In the east is Aeneas Piccolomini with 25187 men (10825 on horseback) and 96 cannons. However, Piccolomini's corps are unable to move until early October.

I didn't give any orders in the first turn. Partially because I want to see how Prussians advance and because Browne is inactive for the turn which means he is unable to attack.

Turn 2 - 1756, Late September

Pirna is now completely surrounded. Koeniggratz is besieged by Schwerin's Schlesien Armee and Frederick II is advancing along the Elbe with Keith's corps and Rechts' column.

I ordered the mustache guy's advance guard to deal with the harassing hussars in the west. Meanwhile Browne will move to Brux, southwest of Prussians, with the first and second line so I won't have to attack across the river (now to think of it, I probably should have moved them to Lobositz in the first turn...).
