Hi Kirk

[Korpen]

KIrk - give me an e-mail adress - by PM - I found the maps of borders and RR which I made 2 years ago or so ...
Borys

Might i suggest posting them here (or rather, in maps)? I am curious :)

[Borys]

OK - I posted tehm in Maps.

I never fleshed out the exact Bavarian-habsburg border.
Let us presume:
Tirol, Voralberg, Salzburg are under Maximilian the Deposed Monk, and thus part of Grosser Bayern und Schwaben.
Kaernten is Habsburg. Unless a little bit in the west is need for the RR.

Thank you Borys for the maps.

Here is a version showing where I think the Bavarians should put the fortified line (red line just north of Venice), as well as the two existing advanced fortresses at Treviso and Trente (red circles).

The rail route I was referring to is partially present on the map. I added a missing segment in red. It's just north of Trieste and connects the Udine portion to a rail hub called Villach, which then connects north to Salzburg. That routes in my 1958 atlas, so they can put a grade there, and would be terribly difficult for the Italians to cut (terribly easy for the Austrians, but thats what the Trente line is for).

I was thinking of Carinthia being Habsburg.
The green RR almost skirts the border as I imagned it - that red spur. There I can move the border one or two valleys east. But Villach is smack in the centre of the province.

Well after blowing up the world map...it got very fuzzy. Decent arguments could be fielded for a couple interpretations...but why?

AH is more established, the green line can be used. Bazhell had a Corps in Linz, which should likely be moved to the Brenner Pass. That does eliminate the RR...hmm perhaps more fortifications to protect the pass...

For the Mughal fleet, I am thinking ships modeled on some the OTL Chinese fleet of 1894. (listed with Chinese names for now), but with build dates in the 1895-1905 region.

The green line is the RR - or did I misread your post?

Another map I made at some point.

Here we see Salzburg as Habsburg - but disregard that - it's Tirolean, i.e. Bavarian.

I am not sure about Elsass and Pfalz - these lands could still be wallowing under French oppresion, tyrany and All the Worst, and I just got carried away when colouring the map.

You read it correctly, I mispoke, the boundary should be somewhere east of that Green line. Linz could be either nations.

From the World map, the northern portion of Rheinland-Pfalz looks to be French. Alsace/Elsass from your map is Bavarian.

Looking at the world map,



the Bavarian border extends north from the Franco-Italian Border and suggests Bavaria has Switzerland east of Lake Geneva and Alsace. The little French Salient in the line there would be the Territoire de Belfort of the Franche-Comte region. 

Comparing my atlas and the European map, I am thinking France does not have northern Rheinland-Pfalz- the Baltic Confed does, but France has the Saar and Luxembourg perhaps. That would fit the two-lobed French border just south of the Netherlands.
