The Battle of Zorndorf (Hypothetical Northern Approach) - After the failure of the siege of Olmutz, Frederick decided he needed to deal with the advancing Russian army in East Prussia. Despite the Russian victory at Gross-Jägersdorf the previous year, Frederick did not think highly of his opponent. The evening of August 24 found him camped north of the Russian position. Historically, Frederick would lead his troops on a wide march around the Russian right, forcing them to reverse their position. This scenario assumes that he had instead attacked from the north.
