Notes: Austrian heavy cavalry did not cease reliance on firepower until after the drill book of 1751 and were admitted to have not achieved proficiency until after 1772. Their infantry initially formed in 4 ranks, of which only 2 fired, and performed an over-complicated drill badly. The grenadiers were described as ferocious and the Hungarian infantry as lively. Both made use of the sabres with which they were provided.

Notes: Russian commanders distrusted both the motives of their allies and the competence of their subordinates. Russian cavalry of the 7 Years War were greatly handicapped by a lack of good horses.
