Suggestion
Recreate the impact that WWII and other conflicts had on the major league rosters by removing the players who left for military service from the game for the appropriate years.
Reason
This would allow a much more realistic recreation of the WWII and other war years in a historical league, as the players who missed major league playing time due to military service will also miss the same amount of time in the game as well.
I have a file downloaded from SABR which lists all the major leaguers who served and for approximately how long, so that could be used to create a file which the game uses to determine which player to remove at what point and for how long.
There would need to be some additions to the way the roster rules work in order to account for how the majors actually responded after WWII, but this should be too difficult a problem (hopefully). I would also make this "military service" recreation an option so the user could choose whether or not they wish to use this feature when they set up their historical league.
Priority
High - this option adds an important element of historical accuracy to the game.
