    Something Fishy Going On Swedish merchant ships attempting to resupply the Swedish forces in Stettin and Pomerania had been harassed by private craft during the early spring. This resulted in 3 merchant ships captured. While Great Britain would dare not admit such the Swedish court suspected...

    To Russia with Love The harsh 1757 – 1758 winter was felt even harder on Prussia troops.

  5. A Different Roll of the Dice

    Think of it as him still advising the King not to get in too deep or something, the King nodding politely and saying well were going that way anyway. Not quite, the Treaty is mostly like OTL, AFAIK though, the French did move some troops in order to allow needed Austrian troops the ability to...

    Battle of Malaga The amount of repairs needed for Hawke’s Gibraltar fleet resulting from the two Minorca battles in 1756, and the length of time it took for the damaged ships to travel to England, complete repairs and return prevented the British from having the strength needed to keep a tight...

    Anyone have a name of a Prussian officer to suggest as being the one that defeated the Swedes at the Oder? He has to have been someone under Lehwalt in that theater.

    Invasion of Hanover These next few months would be an important time on the continent as the battles of what we once called the Seven Years War, raged. Choisel acted quickly, but only had so much time to give noticed of the requested military reforms before actions took place, such things...

    There were some small adjustments to casualty numbers not in Prussia's favor yes. However none of the battle outcomes involving Prussia so far actually changed who the victor was as compared to OTL. If I wanted a really drastic change there I could have killed Fredrick off at Kolin. Prussia...

  14. A Different Roll of the Dice

    Well did some research here, and came to similar conclusions that others did years ago in this thread. Add to these reasons that Prussia was unlikely able to afford to pay Denmark to enter as they were already being subsidized by the British , so it would all be on Britain to persuade them...

    It looked that way in OTL too in the beginning of the war.

    Thanks for the feedback and praise, but no comments on what's unfolding? Believable? Not believable? What do you think is likely to happen next and why? (Ia already have most of the rest of 1757 fleshed out, but from beyond that much is up for debate and suggestion. Though I've already given a...

    The Year 1757: Gerard Lafontaine continued his duties as a French sailor and gunner, still crewed to a French ship in the Mediterranean fleet.

    A Different Roll of the Dice In our study of multi-verse physics today, we will consider how the narrowing down to a single event causes a branching of the timelines into parallel universes of two different paths of; diverging at a single point of departure. While the quantum physicists...

  20. Seven Years War Question: West Indies

    Part of the question though was the likelihood of the French sending more forces there (and how many if they do), doing so would make those forces unequal. Secondly, I am not viewing this as a conquest or attack against all of the British west indies, but only a few sugar islands. By saying...
