The Battle of Rossbach (Afternoon) - After months of facing off with the Austrians in Silesia, the advance of the Franco-Imperial Army in the west forced Frederick to march with a portion of his army to meet them. On the morning of November 5, Hildburghausen decided to try to march around the left flank of the Prussians, assuming they were ready to retreat. Seeing his opportunity, Frederick struck his enemies on the march, routing them in one of the most decisive battles of the Seven Years War.
