First of all, I love that this exists. I haven't read it all–it's rather daunting–but that something with this depth exists is wonderful.



Wait, WHY?

Also, maps!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasi-War
Undeclared wars were not normal, and a USA smaller in size has something to prove by showing it can play with the big boys in international affairs

A single map would take me about an hour, as I am so crap at maps, and as soon as I completed it I would then write a small piece that would render it useless

Interesting scenario you've got there... But why the hell did you have to burn Paris down to the ground? Especially Notre Dame :mad:

Well, at least Napoleon was Emperor of the French and the Beauharnais are now ruling France (since Nappy II is Eugene's son).

I suppose it seemed inevitable...sorry!

I've always liked the Beauharnais and this way stops them from becoming Russian
