[edit] Changes

I have changed Austrian-Russian victory to "Russo-Austrian vicotry" since the Russians accounted for 41,000 troops on the field (the Austrians had 18,500 troops, mostly in reserve). Although there are claims that Loudon's participation was instrumental to the victory, the Austrians accounted for only ca. 30% of the allied army, and the overall command was Saltykov's. When Loudon faced Frederick II by himself, he was soundly beaten at Liegnitz in 1760. Vitoldus44 18:51, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
