I agree with that 100%. And personally, I prefer the game play options that a political expansion / conquest offers.

In my work on the UK I have the French goal being to prevent the UK becoming a threat to French power without open warfare between the UK and France.

To do so I have an independent Scotland becoming a member of the Franco Belgian Union, thus splitting the UK and allowing the French a foothold in the British Isles, whilst DGSE Agents would be carrying out clandestine operations in England to ensure that HMG remains unstable.

One area that has been making me think has been the presence of French troops on Scottish soil, so I like your earlier idea about the troops overseas being a volunteer force.
