Leuthen Day: December 5, 1757-2011

The army parades its standards under the approving eye of Der Alte Fritz after the Battle of Leuthen on December 5, 1757.

I can not let this day pass without reminding our Austrian friends that this is the anniversary of Frederick II's incredible victory over three times the number of Austrians as Prussians.

My Prussian army has been reduced by attrition from a peak of 20 battalions to the following core mainstays:

IR5 Alt Braunschweig

IR6 Grenadier Garde

IR12 Alt Darmstadt

IR15/II Second Battalion of the Garde

IR18 Prinz von Preussen

IR19 Margrave Karl

IR20 Bornstadt

IR24 Schwerin

IR34 Prinz Ferdinand

IR49 Diericke Fusilier Regiment

19/25 Heyden Grenadier Battalion

5/20 Grenadier Battalion

N/A Jager Battalion

CR2 Gelbe Cuirassiers

CR8 Seydlitz Cuirassiers

CR10 Gensdarmes (cuirassiers)

CR13 Garde du Corps (cuirassiers)

DR2 Jung Krakow Dragoons

HR2 Zieten Hussars

HR5 von Ruesch Hussars

N/A Bosniak Lancers

3 x 12 pd Brummers

2 x 12 pd cannon

2 x 6pd cannon

2 x 6pd horse artillery

4 x 3pd battalion guns

Perhaps peace will one day descend on Central Germany.
