Did Fred. the G.'s horse artillery fight with his cavalry or his infantry?

They got captured a fair bit, but I think the idea was that they were attached to cavalry. The Kronoskaff article is good, but states their performance is hard to access due to sparse evidence.

In Christopher Duffy's book "By Force of Arms," focused on the Austrian Army in the 7 Years War, he describes action by the Prussians to drive the Austrians away from the "fortress" of Schweidnitz in Silesia, which the Prussians had under siege – 1762.

Page 367: "…Prussians streaming across the plain to the north of Reichenbach. Frederick…was in the lead with the the Bosniaken and the Brown Werner Hussars [H6]. Next came…the Czettritz Dragoons [D4], and Captain Philipp Anhalt with a brigade of horse artillery, which galloped through Reichenbach and formed up to the east under the screen of the Bosniaks and hussars. The 6-pounders of the horse artillery were newcomers to this theater of war, and they were particularly unwelcome to the Austrians, for they combined the power of medium artillery with something of the mobility of cavalry. The cuirassier regiments Prinz Heinrich, Spaen, and Seydlitz [Cs 2,12, 8] were pounding up behind."

No infantry yet in this movement, so it looks almost Napoleonic!

I think that the contingent captured at Maxen just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
