Re: Lucchessini, Catt and Fredersdorf, oh, my
Hahaha. Well, he'll certainly throw his weight around and attack the Austrians, but will he actually be effective in rescuing his hero before Voltaire gets there? Maybe Peter's the one who uses his leverage in a way that somehow results in a trial that nobody wants.
As for trials: one option is setting this in an AU where the trying of monarchs is a normal procedure with lots of precedent, either in general or because the Diet has more teeth. Depends on how canon-divergent you want to go (and how much you want to explore the consequences of a world where monarchs are more accountable).
how about Hochkirch? That has the advantage that he's battling Austrians, not Russians, and they could have orders for such a scenario that will end up with Fritz in Frankfurt.
I did think of Hochkirch, and for the reasons you mention. It's definitely an option. Let's keep it in mind!
I'm hoping to be able to read up more on Fritz's wars after my concentration gets fixed, hopefully in the next couple months, and since I hear you're too busy to write this month anyway *cough broccoli* :P, let me get back to you on this?
Of course, we'd also have to explain why Seydlitz or Ziethen or any of the others don't try a daring rescue as long as Fritz is still nearby.
Oh, they can try anything they want; failure is always an option (for the writer)!
