I working on an ATL where the French win decisively at Dettingen. After that Noailles and De Broglie regroup the French armies and launch a counter attack against Prince Charles of Lorraine, and evict the Austrians from Bavaria. The French go on to take Austria and Bohemia later. Whilst the Austrian Netherlands are overran by the French and in Italy the French-Spanish-Neapolitans win big. In the end the French alliance wins a massive victory. Austria ends up in Wittelsbach hands, Austrian Netherlands in French hands, Austrian Italy in Spanish hands.

So I have a few questions.

Would Britain make peace and quit the war after their King and continental army are segregated and captured at Dettingen. Or would the British fight on seeing as Frederick, the heir to the British throne hated his father and might continue the war in hopes of his father dying as a prisoner of the French (a comfortable prisoner).

Would Prussia reenter the war after the French begin winning big, or would Prussia stay peaceful and be content with the land it already took?

In Hungary I doubt the French could take it and I doubt the French would want the Wittelsbachs to have it as it would make them too powerful. Could the Hapsburg retain Hungary, or would the Hungarians declare independence (and get it considering the lack of Austrian troops)? And if the Hungarians were independent who would become their king? Or might the Wettins exchange Saxony for Hungary? With the French seeing the Wettins as valuable to prevent Russian expansion into Europe?

In Italy I have two ideas of what to do with the Spanish gains. The first is to give them all to Carlo di Borbone and have them become part of the Sicilian holdings. The other is to give them all to Felipe, the Duke of Parma. Which choice is better? And if Felipe was given all of them could he turn it into a kingdom, and what would that kingdom be called if he did?

I'll have some more questions later possibly, but for now let's focus on these.
