Glad to see the French winning! Poor chaps got a bad rep because of Rossbach, but usually the gave as good as they got.

De Broglie's defensive plan was perfect, in conjunction with Ferdinand's impatience to attack, the result of the battle couldn't be different.
On the contrary, in Rossbach, the French made whatever mistake they could to lose the battle in 90 minutes.   
Now and then we had a hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be pirates. – Mark Twain, Life on the Mississippi
