Firstly, my opponent exercised his choice to sink his identity in that of King Frederick and the Prussians. A strange decision for a huge Francophile? Not when you consider that for centuries it was the Hapsburgs of Austria, rather than a far-eastern province of the German-speaking lands, that was France's chief continental enemy.
That settled, we made our three allowed adjustments to the initial starting positions.
I withdrew the Austrian hussar screen and placed the squadron in the second line where it could be a reserve and support the front-line Deutschmeister Foot, moving the Marquis de Prie-Turinetti Foot and Karl von Lothringen Foot to make room.

Because only three units may be moved in pre-battle adjustments, Frederick was unable to unravel his second line where one battalion of von Glasenapp Foot had to remain out of firing order.
