With regard to these options and flexibility...

A concept that I have toyed with is this.

Each option has an associated number in binary format, setting bits for 
the options. The result is a unique number.

1 option A
1 option B
1. option C

So if all options are set the number in binary is 111 which converted to 
decimal is..    7

This can be used as shorthand notation...

I.E. when setting a game up there is a box included on the start screen, 
into which you can put this number...the result is all the appropriate 
numbers switch on the options for you.

Now in discussions on preceding games, you just look up the unique 
number on the previous game and this garrantees that all the options are 
set 'as was' so you can keep on going...in a repeat game.


Asd regards the idea that full strength division can only leave france 
AFTER paris falls...it canbe open to the same abuses that Soviet 
personel centers began to show as axis players cooked up various devices 
to exploit the rules relating to them, a better play might be, allied 
full strength forces may only leve france after the Axis has got 
adjacent to Paris...less easy to exploit

A variant of the code alredy developed for UK bgs might be mofifiable to 
suit this relatively simply.

Coding it may not be a problem...the response of commanders might be...

i.e. what prudent Brish commander is going to export his army to france, 
only to have it locked up there, meanwhile the Germans  go for the med, 
and the British are defenceless, or an attack on the UK is directly 
launched whilst the BEF cannot relocate to defeat it in detail...

As I say, the response of commanders is likely to make this a different 
proposition to that intended.

As an aside,

You are still free to make and operate houserules such as not 
withdrawing units from France, or having to commit 10 divisions, players 
can always mae such agreements amoung themselves
