Sometimes it just comes down to the rolls as well. This is not supposed to be some hyper-realistic game. It's about the fun of all those involved and creating an enjoyable alternate history. Yeah, that means that sometimes 'realistic' details might not seem 100% logical, but does it really matter?

[quote=Outcast]3) Keep things realistic. I understand that it is unlikely that we will be following the OTL to the letter, but that doesn't mean you can go and invent nuclear weapons in 1880 or release a tribe of smallpox-infested African Gorillas in downtown London.[/quote]

Edit: Ottoman Empire making that many Ironclads that fast is kind of Gorillas in downtown. Even more so provided I don't believe they possess the capability to make them at the time, then again neither did Italy though I only have three coming. It does raise a question though as the Russian DoW on Persia while a bit silly without buildup was blocked, but certain moves made by Britain was responded to with barely an repercussions.
