Turn 11 - Early February



Marshal Browne dies of lung disease. Leopold von Daun was promoted (huzzaaa!) so I formed a new army under him: Schlesiesche Armee which consists of Daun's column, Piccolomini's column and the Second Line.

Turn 12 - Late February



Prince Charles of Lorraine is ordered to march west to Karlsbad and meet up with the Saxon forces and Lucchese's First Line which he will command from now on.

Turn 13-15 - Early March to Early April


Mainly Hungarian infantry becomes available in Pressburg, totaling around 30,000 men. They will start their march to the front at once. Unfortunately that will at least 2 months. Also, I don't have enough commanders. Certain commanders can command only a certain amount of troops and if they command more troops than they can handle, it will slow them down and they are not able to fight as effectively. Which means I have to do quite a bit of organizing to maximize the effectiveness of my forces.

Sweden declares war on Prussia.


As I'm starting to get reinforcements I decided not to combine my armies. I'm going to get enough troops for Daun to oppose Frederick's army so Prince Charles will stay in Karlsbad to give Prussians something to deal with.


An event concerning HRE contingent. I had to choose where I'd send them. Certain options gave Engagement point (for example used to generate replacements) and Victory point penalty. I chose the historical choice which gave the most penalties but I will get 5 brigades to reinforce Bohemia.


Armée Française is now activated and they will take Wesel prior to marching to Hanover.


British Army of Observation is assembling and they will be the ones to oppose mighty Armée Française. Good news is that Army of Observation is commanded by Cumberland who is almost more than incompetent but the bad news is that he's replaceable. Nevertheless, I'm certain the 72,000 men strong Armée Française will squash them like a fly.
