		At the Battle of Zorndorf, Frederick intended to attack in the "Oblique Order." This was a form of attack intended to achieve overwhelming superiority at a vulnerable point in the enemy line and to withhold a wing for employment at a critical time during the battle.
		Actually, as the Prussians, the "Battle of Kay" (as this battle is sometimes known) offers you an excellent opportunity to exhibit the tactical skills you've acquired from the first previous scenarios.
		The battle of Torgau, while a victory, is not the decisive engagement Frederick needed.

	Two Letters On Strategy
		In the battle of Grössgorschen he was severely wounded, but recovered to participate in the fighting that autumn and in the campaign of 1814.
		Whether a battle should be fought before the Landwehr of the 2nd Corps arrives from the north by way of Guben, or whether battle should be avoided until their arrival, depends on circumstances that cannot be determined in advance (10).
		In short, a battle is inevitable: either a battle in the tactical defensive, if the attacker finds bypassing too dangerous, and therefore proceeds to attack our position; or an offensive battle, if the attacker pursues his [original] objective and risks bypassing our position.

		The third battle portrayed is Zorndorf, one of the bloodiest battles of the 18th century, in which both the Prussians and their Russian adversaries took 50 percent casualties.
		Finally there is the Battle of Torgau, a horrifically bloody encounter known for its high Prussian body count due to the deadly effective use of new artillery tactics by the Russians and the Austrians.

	Cannae
		Modern battles Count Schlieffen characterizes even more than earlier battles as a "struggle for the flanks." Therefore he stresses the necessity, in case parts of an army have made frontal contact with the enemy, that the neighboring columns be allowed to march further so that they may be able to turn against flank and rear.
		The problem of fighting a battle of extermination with a strength half that of the enemy was, however, solved to a certain degree.
		Ney reached the battle field in time, he was not sent against the flank, but against the point of the right wing and Blucher, however great his wish to hold out, was able to escape the fatal blow and was obliged to do so.

		In 1756 with the opening of the Seven Years War he was again on active service, and in the first battle (Lobositz) he distinguished himself so much that he was at once promoted major-general.
		He received his third wound on this occasion and his fourth at the battle of Prague in 1757.
		His responsibilities told heavily on Lacy in the ensuing campaigns, and his capacity for supreme command was doubted even by Daun, who refused to give him the command when he himself was wounded at the battle of Torgau.

		His left is on Meissen and the Elbe; his right at a Village called the Katzenhauser, an uncommonly strong camp, of which one often hears afterwards; his centre camp is at Schlettau, which also is strong, though not to such a degree.
		He made minatory movements, one at least, down the River, by his own shore, on Friedrich's Ammunition-Boats from Torgau, and actually intercepted certain of them, which was something; but, except this, and vague flourishings of the Pandour kind, left Friedrich to his own course.
		The thing went thus: Chevalier du Muy, who is Broglio's Rear- guard or Reserve, 30,000 foot and horse, with his back to the Diemel, and eight bridges across it in case of accident, has his right flank leaning on Warburg, and his left on a Village of Ossendorf, some two miles to northwest of that.

		Days later, as Frederick’s army approached, they evacuated it, and in November Frederick defeated Daun at Torgau.
		Nonetheless, his situation remained critical, especially after the fall of Pitt (1761) deprived him of British subsidies.

	History of Friedrich II of Prussia V 19 - Chapter V.
		At small distance is the goal and purpose of all these four years' battlings and marchings, and ten years' subterranean plottings and intriguings.
		Wolfersdorf, one dimly gathers, had marched from Wittenberg on this errand; the whole force in Torgau is now of about 3,000, still with only field-cannon, but with a Captain over them;--who, as is evident, sets himself in a very earnest manner to do his utmost in defence of the place.
		Wunsch had been as swift with Torgau as he was with Wittenberg: he blew out the poor Reichs Garrison there by instant storm, and packed it off to Leipzig, under charge of "an Officer and Trumpet:"--he had, greatly against his will, to rest two days there for a few indispensable cannon from Magdeburg.

		He held important commands in the battles of Hohenfriedberg and Soor, and in the same year (1745) was promoted to the rank of Feldzeugmeister (Lieutenant General).
		He was not actively employed in the first campaigns of the war, but in 1757 he was placed at the head of the army which was raised to relieve Prague.
		These successes were counterbalanced in the following year by the defeat of Loudon at Liegnitz, which was attributed to the dilatoriness of Daun, and Daun's own defeat in the great Battle of Torgau.

		Pappenheim arrived in time to take part in the battle, and soon was killed; a heavy fog on that autumn day added to the confusion, causing the three armies to march around each other in a full circle before they realized it.
		The typical semi-feudal leader of this time could sit out a battle if he felt like it, and since wars at this time were often sparked by personal interests, he fought against his king almost as often as for him.
