  1. So Evident a Danger: The Consequences of War between Britain, Prussia and Russia in 1791

    It will be fascinating to consider a French revolutionary period with an intact exile Monarch.
  2. What's the latest possible POD for Denmark-Norway to be the dominant power in Scandinavia?

    I don’t think it’s an extremely likely course of events, but with a POD in 1814 I think you could have Russia at some point at war with Sweden over the course of the next 100 years.
  3. What's the latest possible POD for Denmark-Norway to be the dominant power in Scandinavia?

    I guess my thought was Russia could actually force Sweden to cede back Norway to Denmark if you trumped up a scenario where they came to blows.
  4. What's the latest possible POD for Denmark-Norway to be the dominant power in Scandinavia?

    I think you can get an extremely late POD by setting up some scenario where Russia mauls Sweden and Norway is returned to Denmark.
  5. AHC: Make "Adventurer" an actual profession

    I think this is closest. Mercenaries from certain periods kind of work too.
  6. WW II Insanity Options

    Just invade Spain, no Franco already joining the axis. I’m sure he would join the axis when Spain is invaded, but the insane part of the idea is that it’s just done.
  7. WW II Insanity Options

    Invasion of continental Europe by the Allies through authoritarian neutrals like Spain and Turkey.
  8. A better High Seas Fleet for WW1

    I am a naval novice, so excuse my ignorance, but would not a decisive German victory at sea in 1914 help with the blockade at least somewhat? More would get past, etc.?
  9. WW1 Germany partitioned after 1914 defeat

    I think it may be necessary to “show your work” a bit on the encirclement of 8 armies. I really like the general scenario, but when to my knowledge not one German army was encircled in Europe to go from 0 to 8 is a bit of a stretch. I could handwave a couple armies, but not 8. I guess to me the...
  10. WW1 Germany partitioned after 1914 defeat

    I don’t think they can win early convincingly enough to Balkanize Germany. I could see Germany sueing for peace early, but not accepting decapitation without major pain.
  11. WW1 Germany partitioned after 1914 defeat

    I see that, I think Britain would restrain a really whole sale partition. I can believe that Russia and France would take big bites out of Germany, but a balkanization seems far fetched without at minimum a more destructive war.
  12. WW1 Germany partitioned after 1914 defeat

    Perhaps with early tweaks like a more successful western front for the Entente, plus no disaster at Tannenberg, the war can drag on shorter than otl but long enough and with enough casualties for France/Russia to develop the appetite to truly dismantle the central powers. It would require...
  13. What if Nicholas I (the fox) tried to steal the straits (the eggs/hens) when invited by the Sultan to protect the OE (the henhouse) in 1833?

    Here’s my not overly ambitious opinion: if there is no interference by other great powers in the seizure of the straits, the Russians can hold them against the Ottomans.
  14. Consequences of Maximilian victory on the HRE and its centralization process?

    This is an interesting scenario. Frankly I don’t know the most about the topic, but I’ll give my two cents. I think in a vacuum, greater success at war would give Max more ability to shove through “domestic” reforms in the HRE. As far as direct expansion into Italy, I’m not sold. I think when...
  15. The Ottomans don't join in WWI. What now?

    In lieu of Gallipoli, could we see some insane attempt at a landing in North Germany?
  16. The cultural fallout of France losing every war against Germany in the 20th century.

    I think if things go as you posit, loss in the First World War and the Second World War, it’s very possible France may not exist after WW2. Some combination of Allies (or enemies that can continue to fight) of Germany that want France to remain standing may be able to restrain a Germany...
