Awwww that other Fritz+dog one! And hee to the Katte and Fredersdorf :D (Ah, now, is it plausible Schwerin sent Fredersdorf? Should we have put that in?) :D

It occurs to me this might be a good time for a refresher on Schwerin?

- Respected field marshal.
- Talked Fritz into leaving his first battle (Mollwitz) to avoid capture, and then won the battle without him.
- Died in a charge at the Battle of Prague (the one in 1757 that you know a little about from your reading).
- On the obelisk.

If this was superfluous, let me know, but I'm trying to remember to give you some repetition now and again. :)

Never superfluous :D

...is he the one who also got disgraced along with AW after the whole Bohemia thing?

No, that was Schmettau; Schwerin was already dead by then.
