In the Battle of Zwenkau, the three divisions of the USE Army led by Lennart Torstensson met the army of Saxony led by von Arnim, ending in a decisive victory for the USE. Torstensson used the Third division, led by newly-appointed General Michael Stearns, as bait, thinking that von Arnim would see Stearns as a novice showing his inexperience. The Saxon cavalry charge, which also involved some Polish hussars, was broken by the USE's volley guns and APCs.
