I like FoW games and I also like trying new maps. But I often have the problem that I need to know how many neutral armees are places between me and my enemy (on maps like AoR or others with lots of neutrals). Since I also like to win maps on the first try, i would suggest to show the armees in the map preview when you click on the map in the "start a new game" menu or in the list of your games.
On the spots where people start from you could set as many armees if noone starts there
It think this would be really easy to make and it would help people like me a lot (since I also often forget how many armees there are, also if I played the map 3-4 times).
I hope this has not been suggested yet (the search function here is weird)
Tell me what you think.
