Something that came up in the Great Britain and Hanover thread was the idea of during the Austro-Prussian War the Kingdom of Hanover wins the Battle of Langensalza even more decisively than in our timeline, not being forced to surrender but managing to link up with their local allies and beat the Prussians in their region. The easiest way I can see to do this is simply have the Hanoverians replace their rifles with something that can match the Prussian's needle guns since IIRC they were still using muzzleloaders, parity in small arms makes things go even more their way.

So Austria-Hungary still loses to Prussia in the main fighting but in the secondary one Prussia has lost to Hanover and her allies. Is this enough to change things or does it simply mean Prussia then maneuvers her armies back up and to the west before steamrollering them? Either way what could be the possible outcomes?
