These are some interesting ideas. . .
I don't like the force orginzation chart limitation. Particularly the HQ limitation. Some armies could really be handycapped by this. Notably armies like Lost and the Damned, that have to spend one HQ choice for every 3 squads they want anpiring champion in. Then if they want a traditional HQ they need another choice. I'm sure there are other armies that are similarly affected. Also in my Lost and the damned army I use: both HQ's,3 elite, 6 troop, 2 fast attack, 2 heavy support. that's 2 slots I don't use in 2000 pts, in 1850 remove a single troop choice from that list. now going down to 1500 would remove a few more choices, but that's really limiting the options at that point. Now this is an extreme case, but the point is that such a rule would favor armies that tend to utilize less of the FOC over ones that tend to use more of it.
(Not that I'm planning on using my LatD again already.)

I like the idea of having a flexable amount of troops for each engagement. Here is an idea that I've been thinking of to make things different: say we can have 2000 pts worth of troops total, then we specify 1500 that we are taking into battle. With a default 1500 pts specified. Each round starts with a 1 day prep where the matchups are announced(Opponent and Mission). Then the lineup is submitted to the orginizer. If no linup is submitted then the default is used. Next day the lists are posted and votewar happens like it normally has in the past.
I see each squad being preset. If you want the same sqad with different option, you have to buy the squad independantly each time.

Advantages:
1)allows for flexabilty in engagements.
2)allows players to make tactical decisions about engagements.
3)allows rematches to be fesable and interesting should they come up.

Drawbacks:
1)requires more time out of those involved, expecially the orginizer.
2)each round would take about an extra day to do finish dragging out the votewar for longer.

I see drawback one being the big kicker here. What do people think?
