  1. The Justiniad --- A Heraclian Timeline

    Excellent job!

  2. AHC: the Franco-Prussian war Escalates

    Can this result in a sort of Spanish civil war? I mean, if the Prussians have Leopold actually claim the Spanish throne for himself, the French can try to back up other pretenders like future Alfonso XII? Aside from that, like the others have said, Austria and Denmark are possible allies for...

  3. Make Russia a part of the Western world

    Make 1990s less of disaster. This decade is used as the scarecrow of the results of democracy and the 'western way'.

  4. Belgium, Oh Belgium - Who Shall Claim Thee, Belgium?

    Having Junior marrying into the Orleans line doesn't really help - they will still see him as a threat, which he is, and he is supposed to keep the French power in check. Besides, it will harm his image among his supporters. Austria will be his major supporter and I can even see the Austrians...

  5. Belgium, Oh Belgium - Who Shall Claim Thee, Belgium?

    I meant that most likely Napoleon Jr. only gets to be King of Belgium if he abdicates from any claim on the French throne for himself and his descendants. At the very least, I can see some of his opponents insisting on it. Assuming he agrees and gets crowned as king of Belgium, his supporters...

  6. What happens to France without Napoleon?

    Yeah, sorry, forgot the correct spelling.

  7. What happens to France without Napoleon?

    The Republic may still get succesful enough to establish Rhein border and conquer Belgium plus, probably, establish sister republics in northern Italy, Holland and Switzerland. With the Republican France being the mess it is, someone like Hoche or Moreau (or, who the hell knows, mayhaps even...

  8. What happens to France without Napoleon?

    First Republic can still end OK with other talented generals stepping in and possibly taking over. Sure enough, they are not nearly as succesful short-term wise, but that might result in France being better off in the long run.

  9. Belgium, Oh Belgium - Who Shall Claim Thee, Belgium?

    Biggest challenge with the Eaglet is having him giving up his claim to the French throne. Than again, if there are certain not so moral people in his inner circle, they might even talk him into it and use Belgium as gateway into France. There are a lot of Bonaparte sympathizers and the new...

  10. AHC: More effective Napoleonic Marshals

    Mayhaps, have Hoche, Kleber and Desaix survive (all three were pretty loyal to Napoleon and quite skilled) and have the Emperor induct several new, younger marshals around the beginnig of 1810s?

  11. Would France be better off had the second french empire continued?

    The Empire could have survived, but some PODs have to happen. Be prepared to face Prussia, avoid getting bogged down in Mexican adventures, marry off your heir to the British (as far as I remember, a marriage between Napoleon IV and princess Beatrice was on the cards for quite some time). It is...

  12. AHC: House of Bonaparte remains in power in France

    I agree. But still, it is a chance, however slim.

  13. AHC: House of Bonaparte remains in power in France

    Napoleon can agree to the Frankfurt proposals. Another chance would be at the battle of Leipzig, where the day before the battle the French had a solid chance of capturing the allied monarchs. Napoleon II has a chance, in case his Austrian grandfather has a clash with Louis-Philippe and decides...

  14. Disaster at Leuthen TL - Frederick the Great dies in battle

    Long live the Empire! Long live Tejas! Libertad! At last, a moment with good guys winning.

  15. Disaster at Leuthen TL - Frederick the Great dies in battle

    Great work! Still hoping to see royalist France and Louisiane coming out on top, somehow or at least enduring the storm of the second World War...

  16. Tshombe and The Stanleyville Mutiny

    So, ladies and gentlemen, as you might know, in 1967 Tshombe's jet aircraft was hijacked by his own bodyguard Francis Bodenan. I've seen some people claiming that Bodenan was recruited by the CIA, but that is of little regard here. Tshombe was behind the bars in Algiers, dying there. Some claim...

  17. Disaster at Leuthen TL - Frederick the Great dies in battle

    Dear God, this is awesome! Vive la France! Vive la Louisiane! Too bad that it will be only a wrap-up, not a complete sequel, but still. Thanks for your work, Direwolf. That was one of the first stories I've read on the forum and it was a great run.

  18. A Most Glorious Revolution: Savoyard Spain

    Just read the whoel thing and wanted to say that it is an awesome TL. Hope the Empire will get back on trail. And even if not, that's a very cool TL.

  19. Best Monarch of France?

    I never said this. It is actually fairly normal that people stand up for their countries. It is actually a thing a noble human being always does.

  20. Best Monarch of France?

    Hitler was an outstanding bastard, who was far worse a man than those who fought against him (even Stalin), while kings and emperors who waged the Napoleonic Wars usually belonged to varying shades of grey.
