The Battle of Kolin (Late Start) - After his victory at Prague, Frederick hoped to quickly subdue the Austrians trapped in the city. However, they were more stubborn than he hoped, and a new Austrian Army led by Feldmarschall Daun was coming up in relief. Initially Frederick dispatched Bevern to observe this force. However, in mid June, Frederick himself joined Bevern with a portion of the main army. The morning of June 18, he attempted to march across the front of the Austrian position, and roll them up from the right. However, Daun had anticipated this, and had reserves ready to counter Frederick. By the end of the day, Frederick would know the taste of defeat for the first time in his career. [Note: This scenario begins just before Frederick launched his first major attack of the day.]
