a few additional thoughts...maybe not all applicable but I wanted to puke it out for the record
For scenarios where it is "playable in all modes", the human wants to have flexibility to position HIS troops as he desires. Allies or Axis side. Some players get all angry if you limit them too much. oh well. The 3 different color set up zones can be fun to try and allow some flexibility for some units but not have a big gun up forward too far for example. You can have discontinuous usage of the 3 colors. 2,3,4+ big reds in the back. 2,3,4+ oranges mid way. 2,3,4+ pinks up front. same for the blue side.
The AI does what it is told. the little yellow dots and you face the unit with the green dot. 32 groups now I think and 5 AI plans. LOTS OF DOTS.
in the editor make sure all the stuff is in the proper colored set up zone(s) that match to the yellow set up dot of the AI plan for that group...OR IT GLITCHES.
I think I rattled that off correctly.  
FUN STUFF!

I recall the campaign author can actually give the wording of the 2 options. Very near the beginning of the file...I bolded it below.
Here is the campaign script for my amateur first campaign from 2015. CMFI Wacht Am Rapido. I used CMFI to be a Battle of the Bulge but placed in Italy!

I am very happy to see you "under the hood" fiddling with the carburetor! I wish you the very best. It is the game within the game to do modding and change things. PM me if you want a link to all my mods and raw files. Use whatever you want with my best wishes. 

the 1 you find in the \nations\branches
the 2 user interface\in-game panels\unit info\special equipment icons

This mod, like many others I have embarked upon, has been a great learning experience.
FRANCE 1940: I have learned so much about this phase of the war. Wow. Great stuff. <BFC, maybe you should rethink your hardline? A handful of forumite nobody's has created a damn good product in 9 weeks. Imagine what YOU could do with the keys to the game. No "Fake Lobster!" put downs for you guys. > 
I am working with @JM Stuff to do a small sub-mod to FRANCE 1940. We are creating the Chasseurs Ardennais. I plan to do a scenario, or maybe a mini-campaign, for the "Battle of Bodange" in Belgium, as the Germans tried to get through the Ardennes.

A quicky job but I kinda like it. I have different markings going on soon.

It is a mod by @Lucky_Strike called Hedgerow Hell.

I think I solved all the issues. I will hold off the release of SILVER until my playtesters give me a clean bill of health.
Plus I am writing a few more small scenarios for SILVER.
Here is one I am cranking away on...
FR40B RUBARTH'S RITTERKREUZ

You will be in the jackboots of Feldwebel Walter Rubarth of Panzerpionier-Bataillon 49. Only a few rubber assault boats made it across the Meuse. Can you complete the mission that resulted in Rubarth's Ritterkreuz?
I am guided by my new book..."The Blitzkrieg Legend" and by a great website wikimaginot.eu that shows the locations of and photos of the Sedan bunkers.

 
 

The scenario starts with just a forward observer and you call in the Stukas to hit the bunkers. Then the rafts hit the other bank and the real fun begins...

 

TRY TO SAY THIS 3 TIMES FAST!
Rubarth rides roughly on the river in his rubber raft!

German Assault Raft. Blender mod as a flavor object in the drum series. With paddles borrowed from the Schwimmwagen! 

You are very welcome. Thank you for the kind words. 
I know you are neck deep in France 1944...but if you ever get a hankering to make anything France 1940, just holler! There is a guide and I can try to answer questions and give advice for how to best manipulate the mod's elements.

Thank you for the great mod France 1940. Played with it a bit today. Looks great. A lot of work on your part. Appreciated.

It was very interesting to read this thread as it reminds me of what I often try to do.
I look at myself and see myself, using a half-*** Hollywood analogy, as a producer, director and actor for CM content creation.
producer: I gather up existing mods and use them in new projects. scrounger city!
director: I work with other modders to get stuff made for the new project. many good friends made along the way. 
actor: I DO make my own new mods for the new project. My lame efforts are the rotted cherry on top! hahaha
Usually I TRY to give credit but often miss ALL names. The older ghost content. For example, I recently sent a text to EZ for "permission" but had no reply.
I don't have any lawyers on the payroll because there is no damn payroll. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CMFI FRANCE 1940 is alive and well.

The scenario does start with a **burning** panzer! Like the action is in progress...

FR40B FIREFIGHT AT ANNELLES
We are preparing the SILVER PACK for release in a week or so...

@Bootie
Maybe you are busy as a beaver and my GIGANTIC MOD blew your mind.
So, honestly, what do you think?
Is this something you will host from CMMODS?
Please let me know what is best.
Thank you sir.
