An Aide of Field Marshal Souibise rode up to the Duc de Pinotage and his Generals...
"Have you found the Prussians?"
"No - Have You found the Prussians?"
"No"
"Well, tell us if you find them"
"Yes, You too"
"Oh - and what of your Reichsarmee lot?"
"They are going north into the Hesse Hatlland"
"Have they seen the Prussians"
"No, just Hessians with various hats"
"Oh. Ah, Soubise told me he is assigning the Hohenzollern Kurassiers to you. There are 61 different states in their 2 squadrons. Wants you to lick 'em into shape. Byeee...must dash"
(When Soubise's army invaded Saxony, the thin Prussian forces scuttled away, Frederick had to make haste from the other side of Prussia.)
