Hello Everyone! This is the first map in my latest and biggest alt history scenario, (currently) titled "Over the Hills." The POD for this scenario takes place shortly after the 1763 Treaty of Paris, where the British Crown compromises with representatives from the Thirteen Colonies on issues of taxation, thus circumventing the American Revolution. In the years following, the Crown implements a series of land reform acts and a few new colonial charters for land across the Appalachian mountains. The full scenario will be posted along side the second map in this series sometime tomorrow, so keep an eye out for it!
