Prussia started the 7 Years War with an attack onSaxony to seize the initiative against an encircling coalition.

Was that pretty much his only chance To avoid the coalition crushing Prussia?
 
The Prussians knew that the offensive was coming with the following Spring, hence why they acted pre-emptively before Saxony was able to fully expand their capabilities over the winter.
