Scenario Briefing: Variant - Frederick had been taken by surprise when an Austrian Army under Charles of Lorraine moved against him (instead of continuing operations against the French near Prague.) Charles had managed to get himself into a position where he was between Frederick and Leopold of Anhalt-Dessau's two wings.

While Frederick raced to join Leopold, the Austrians attacked near Chotusitz. Once again, the discipline of the Prussian infantry would carry the day, though only after a bloody battle.

This alternative scenario assumes that Frederick was able to break contact with the Austrians and unite his army. Both sides are now seeking to bring the other to battle.

Recommended Rules: [Default]

Intended to be played as the Pragmatic Alliance forces against the Anti-Pragmatic AI, but can be played from either side or Head-to-Head.
