Kleiner Feldzug 1757: Outcome of May II Turn

 After our first battle, albeit not a mighty one, it would seem we may be moving on to earth-shaking confrontations!

As you will see from the map below, the Austrians consolidated, pulling Esterhazy's remnants back into von Browne's force and marching Prince Charles's force south to Prague to join Arenberg.

But Austria also allowed herself a counterstroke. Having absorbed Esterhazy's gallant band, von Browne set forth to the south to avenge the defeat of Hadik at Gitschina.

Von Schwerin stood fast, awaiting the Austrians' approach. We are waiting to hear if he attempted to evade.

In the west, Frederick continued his breakneck marching, moving from Teplitz to Aussig to Lobositz and thence to Schlan. Not content with this rapid advance, he threw his forces forward, losing some stragglers along the way, and confronted the combined Austrian force under Prince Charles at Prague. We are likewise awaiting word whether the Austrians attempt a Fabian manouevere here or meet the Prussians in battle.
