Followed to OOB of the 7YW Project transferring every unit to my Napoleonic era armies.
Couple of points, Not sure how to classify the Russians trench and dirt piles in front. Light or medium cover. Thinking small arms medium but artillery light as its not packed earth. Kunersdorf was burned down, while no idea if a church in Kunersdorf I made a burned out church for this game.

I expend lots of time on Google maps street view and didn't see any much in elevations but it reads there was.

I don't have Austrians but do have Bavarians and they got a new Chevaulegers for this game. On the Prussians side, they don't have enough Cuirassiers or Grenadiers, so their usual allies the British are helping out.
Also being Napoleonic era my armies don't have regimental artillery, but calculated artillery as each got 1/4 of their regimental and all heavy artillery.
Rules will be Empire III, played solo
Game will start at the 11am Bombardment round.

The Prussian Grenadiers easily got into the Mulh Berg after the bombardment did a great job but dice are cold after that.

Prussians only had 1 impulse round so that slowed them down.
The Leib Hussars(Puttkammer) got rid of some uhlans first but a Brigade of Dragoons are coming. Cuirassiers Brigade chose not to activate yet.

One of last critics of Kunersdorf I read was Frederick's failure to be able to bring up artillery. Napoleonic armies solved that problem. But by 5pm the initial troops are running of of steam. The Russians have brought up artillery on the north side, have much more inside the compound. So probably a forgone conclusion but few more rounds to go.
I use casualty caps and take away stands when gone. Black caps are small arms, Red artillery and white close action.

One thing I have done with these 7YW battles is the Prussians happen to have a battery of 3pdrs. So as a hat tip to the 7YW 4 battalions get 2 guns and as use Prussian Fusilier regiments as the 1813 Reserve regiments, 4 battalions get 2 guns each.

The Prussians got as far as they historical did in 1759, but the game rules dragged out time for a counter attack.
