Before returning to the battlefields of 1757, we take a step back to answer a deceptively simple question: how did 18th-century warfare actually work?
From battalions, grenadiers, cuirassiers, and hussars to muskets, bayonets, artillery, and the endless problem of keeping tens of thousands of men fed, this supplemental episode breaks down the basic machinery of war in the age of Frederick the Great. We explore linear tactics, volley fire, logistics, flanking and envelopment, the oblique order, and the relentless discipline that allowed the Prussian army to execute Frederick’s increasingly ambitious plans.
Because before we can understand Prague, Kolín, Rossbach, and Leuthen, we first need to understand why thousands of otherwise sensible men were willing to stand in perfectly straight lines and shoot at one another until somebody decided they had had enough.
