Any ideas for the next update guys?
Maybe an update on Austria's next major alliance? Russia maybe?

Oh god, that's a lot. Perhaps, jlk7e, we can have a discussion in PMs to work on this? I would be glad of your help as you clearly know a lot about this period.SNIP
As will become clear in the next update Britain has not ditched Austria and has recreated the Grand Alliance. Hope that answers at least some of the questions.Maybe an update on Austria's next major alliance? Russia maybe?
Yeah that was pretty longBut I'm in agreement with on most of this hence why I had asked originally.
@jlk7e: if Prussia-Brandenburg comes into conflict with the electorate of Saxony, then this will mean Poland-Lithuania will be dragged along (provided they're still in personal union). This will give Prussia-Brandenburg an opportunity to try seizing Polish Western Prussia, a territory they were interested in ever since the personal union between Brandenburg and Prussia began. For this to succeed they will need allies, most likely Russia and maybe even Austria.
Other than that getting back (parts of) the duchy of Magdeburg and the principality of Halberstadt will have a higher priority for Prussia-Brandenburg than getting back the scattered western Hohenzollern possessions (so Cleves, Lingen etc.).
Austria may be interested in balancing Saxony and Prussia-Brandenburg out; maybe Prussia-Brandenburg gets Western Prussia and in turn Saxony is allowed to retain parts of Magdeburg and Halberstadt, but has to cede Lusatia to Austria (and Poland could their enclaves in Hungary)?
Poland doesn't necessarily get involved - the Sejm, not the king, has the right to declare war. In OTL, Poland was neutral in both the War of the Austrian Succession and the Seven Years War, I believe, in spite of Saxon participation, though they allowed the passage of Russian troops in the latter.
OK, the next update will be about that then.Nice Update
I wonder how/wether the French revolution will play out without the great thinkers. Im really interested in the German politics going on after the war. What are the relations between Austria ans the smaller German states like after Austrias annexation of Bavaria? Your TL is really interesting, keep it ip![]()
Not totally convinced by what?HMMM not totally convinced
But you have achieved Austrian Bavaria ...
1. Austria won a lot of battles, but I guess the war's end was pretty bad.On the way the war played out. It seems that Austria lost enough battles to GAINING NOTHING, but ended up with Bavaria.
While Saxony and Poland were "united" under one ruler, they were not one Country. I think Polish aristocracy might have opposed a war - rendeering Polish effort to (nearly) Nil.
I assume M-T would also force the Saxons to renounce their claim to the Polish crown...
I would cancel the second attack in Italy and the defeat at Cracow (BTW SAXONY invading Austria - the latter must have made some blunders...- the saxons of OTL have neglected their army BECAUSE so much Money went into Poland)
Austria is glad to get Bavaria and granting the Italians a "federation" that costs AUSTRIA nothing (Tuscany still is in the Hand of M-T husband and Milano is still Austrian IIRC) - What does the deposed Bavarians get instead (there must be some sort of compensation)
BTW Why does Britain get Spanish Florida - did not see that Spain was involved in the fighting...
