In know in Crown of Glory you could change the settings in the data files to enlarge the container capacities (I modified that a few times for fun) and I think I saw the same settings here in FoF. I will probably give it a try and see how I like FoF with larger armies.
Let us know how it turns out and how you did it.

I won't get a chance until this weekend at the earliest, but it looks like the same values as CoG... you can find the data in the AcwPlayers.txt file. There are rows for each country (USA, CSA, Britain,.. etc) and fields for
MaxContainer0--armies
MaxContainer1--corps
MaxContainer2--fleets
MaxContainer3--cities
MaxContainer4-Divisions
MaxUnitStr
You can use either a txt editor or I use MS Excel to cleanly line up the columns of data. Just change the numbers to a value you want to use. The USA for example starts with a army size of 35 while the CSA starts with a 42. If it's like CoG these should be the values you are limited to in the game for the containers until you buy tech that increases them (like the MaxUnitStr where the USA starts at 3000 while the CSA is 4000).

ps... one of the thing's I've really liked about CoG and now FoF was the ease of tweaking the values of things in the data files. Since they are all text files you can easily edit them... just make sure you keep a copy of the original files somewhere or better yet create a scenario with your modified files in the ...Forge of Freedom\Scenarios folder. I believe you can copy an existing scenario... rename the folder and just modifiy the file in it or add in the modfied files you need for that scenario. I had my own modified scenarios before the patch because I didn't like the setups... I deleted them once the patch came out though since they were so much better. Take a look in the Data folder... there are lot's of things you can modify if you still arn't happy with the official settings. Don't like a unit type's values.. mod it... don't like the cost of a building type... edit it's value... tweak the values until you find the settings you like.
