I think KingSweden was referring to Steinfort in Luxembourg, right across the border from Arlon.

Since the festivities are about to kick off, I went back through some of the old updates detailing the war's build-up, and found this nearly 2 year old (!!!) update detailing French war plans from the OG thread, which I believe was also the very first installment we ever saw from The Central...

From the 2nd most recent update:

I'm curious to see how this theatre of the war shakes out. I'm assuming that the German colonies out in the Pacific, East Indies, and Philippines are all toast - as pointed out in the update, the French are gonna have total naval superiority in this corner of the world at the outset, and all of...

My guess: the US, Mexico, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, China, and Japan. Brazil is another possibility depending on how their experiment with integralism goes. I dont think A-H is gonna retain great power status after the war, and IIRC its been implied in the EU thread that the...

I'm certain that Germany is gonna issue a warrant for Stephane Clement's arrest once he's inevitably found not guilty by the Austrian courts. His possible fates once Germany wins, assuming he survives the war: 1. German firing squad 2. Suicide 3. Exile If it winds up being option 3, I wonder...

Wow, you've really spoiled us with the sheer number of updates the past week. Keep up the good work! One question I have: what's the status of women's suffrage in the US? Now that the Dems are back to a majority in both chambers could we expect to see an amendment being voted on soon?

Yeah none of this requires Haiti to become a kingdom in order to come to fruition. Otherwise I agree that the rationale makes sense.

I wonder if, eventually, Asian Americans will have their own mini Great Migration (West to East rather than OTL's South to North) due to the awful xenophobic conditions on the west coast and the note in the previous update about the emerging sinophilia in the northeast

Yeah, this is the other thing. Any attempt to make a break for France necessarily would mean fighting through the teeth of the KM. I'm sure the French would still try to offer up the suggestion, though, as unlikely as it is to be taken up by the Danes.

I hadn't thought about this before but this sets up a potentially interesting strategic conundrum/point of conflict for the Triangle. Until the Regia Marina is defeated and the bulk of French forces can be transferred out of the Med, any idea of attacking into the North Sea is out of the...

I have to imagine that one of the first things the British would do once the war breaks out is to declare the Strait of Dover closed to all warships. They obviously have the means to enforce it, and last thing they need is for the Channel and the North Sea to become a massive warzone.

So, including wartime deaths, the Confederacy proper will have lost something like ~35-40% of its prewar black population by 1920. Calling that a gigantic demographic shift would be an understatement, I think. Heinrich's concerns (hilariously) are a good encapsulation of why the OTL Triple...

*Something* big is set to happen during the early-to-mid 1950s, but for for now its still a mystery what that something actually is. My best guess based on context clues is a large-scale general war breaking out in East Asia (to mirror the Great American and Central European conflicts), but that...

I like this idea a lot. Metrication would be a very visible and obvious legacy of an administration that most people otherwise agree was pretty bad. It could be sort of a parallel to how one of the main reasons Carter is remembered today is for deregulating the beer industry and kick-starting...
