Fixed starting positions is boring. There is just half of the maps left when you always start on one side. Please remove.

Agreed, particularly in a game with asymmetric maps like CoH, I think its a bad idea to have fixed starting positions based on faction. I believe it has implications for balance, for example if playing USF against OKW on Langreskaya, I would argue starting north puts you at a disadvantage since it is easier to camp your cut-off with Kubel (no buildings nearby to hide Rifles in), and he has the hedgerow to put a medic truck behind. If fixed starting positions are on, balance issues such as this become more pronounced and you have to start vetoing maps based on whether they are Axis or Allied favoured, rather than on preference.
