Beginning a game - are there options?

Hello,

In the module I am developing, I would like to change the order how the game is set up.
Currently, I click “New Game”,
Vassal asks me to Choose a Side,
Next, I select Number of Players.

I’d prefer that the order goes as follows:
I click “New Game”,
Vassal asks me to select Number of Players,
Finally, I am asked to Choose a Side.

Any way I can do this?

also, can I start Number of Players to a default value?

Thank you

Flaney
