• Lead and infobox;
  • Austrian army of 80,000 "men" ?
  • Prussian army of 30,000–36,000 "men" ?

  • What is the rank of Frederick the Great? King
  • Mention clearly in the lead that Austria has won the war They didn't win the war.
  • 7,300 men, 3 flags lost; lost is redundant
• Section 1;
  • Mention Leopold Josef Graf Daun along with his rank fixed
  • 80,000-man army -> army of 80,000 men why?
  • Mention Frederick's full name along with rank for first mention in prose (not considering the lead) fixed
  • Better abbreviate the units from second mention of the same units, for example, Kilometers, take care of this throughout the article fixed
  • In frustration; is a bit awkward fixed
  • Who is Wolf Frederick von Retzow? Mention his position and rank fixed
