The Battle of Gross Jägersdorf (short) - 1757 When the Russians invaded East Prussia in 1757, they were an unknown quantity. Many, including Frederick, thought that they would prove to be no match for experienced troops from Central Europe. Early in the morning of August 30, General von Lehwaldt would put that to the test. Despite being outnumbered by well over 2-1, the Prussians attacked the Russians at Gross Jägersdorf. The Russians were not expecting an attack and were just starting their morning march when the Prussians appeared before them. By the end of the morning, Europe would know that the Russians were foes to be taken seriously. (Note: This scenario starts a with the forces fairly close to contact. The Russians start Disordered to reflect the surprise attack.)
