April II: feints and jabs

The Prussian and Austrian armies continue trying to complete their operational picture of the battlefield. This time the action is moving east. Prussian patrols drive off an Austrian attempt to raid Zittau. At the same time, patrols of black-clad hussars are foiled in their attempts to scout the Austrian positions around Reichenberg.

However, Hapsburg spies do achieve some intelligence. It seems that the Prussian force based in Zittau is commanded by none other than Prinz Heinrich, detailed to take over command of the central front from Brunswick Bevern. [Josh had originally assigned him here, but I neglected to note that his generalship rank places him in command and to label the force appropriately.]
