Just so we are all up to speed The Kingdom of Prussia, by the Seven Years War was a rapidly rising power in the HRE under King Frederick II. It had already won a surprising and rapid victory in the Silesian War and was preparing to seize Saxony from Augustus III of Poland. However, after the disaster that was the Battle of Kunersdorf King Frederick was captured, Prussia was humbled before Austria and Russia, Silesia was lost as was a variety of other concessions that essentially broke the back of Prussia. It was then divided amongst Austria and Poland with Russia nabbing the weakened Prussia into its sphere of influence.

However, what if things went differently? What if Ludon and Saltykov did not march on Berlin like in OTL and instead hesitated for some reason? Could Prussia recover from such a defeat? If so could they go on to challenge Austrian hegemony in the HRE?
