The Battle of Prague (Early Start - Grenadiers) - The first stage of the 1757 campaign came to a head when Frederick was rejoined by a column under Schwerin north of Prague. The Prussians were faced by an slightly smaller Austrian army dug in around the city. After a morning examination of the field, the Prussians decided to swing around the Austrians and attempt to turn their right flank. The Prussians would end up driving the Austrians into the city of Prague, but only after suffering heavy losses, including Schwerin. [Note, this scenario begins early in the morning, with the Prussians in their initial positions. The Austrians detached the Grenadier companies of Arenberg's unit from their parent units when the Prussian move was made. These units have been placed on the map, with the original units reduced in strength.]
