The Battle of Maxen - In November of 1759, Feldmarschall Daun found himself in a difficult position. An advance by Frederick threatened to drive him out of Saxony, while a detached corps under Finck threatened to cut him off from his communications with Bohemia. At the urging of Lacy, Daun decided to attack Finck's corps at Maxen. The battle would end with Finck's entire corps dead or captured, and the Austrians holding on to Dresden at the end of the campaign season.
