Dynamic mission overlay/preset for various maps

[carss]

I was flying on Enigma CW server the other day, and looking at the hexagons it gave me an idea. Why not there be an option to create an overlay similar to that, where the entire map gets covered in Hexagons or similar shapes?

You can then designate these shapes or areas to various coalitions/factions and anything that falls within them be it an airbase, city, plant, structure etc falls to that faction or coalition. They also don't have to be only hexagons or squares, but can also be varying blocks or regions depending on the sectional maps and borders of various countries on the map.

You can also relegate this overlay to the entire map, or only to the mainland, or just the sea, or even various islands! This could be an excellent tool for both Single player or multiplayer. And you could maybe have units pre programed to go to various areas based on the shapes and their current status.

For instance, if a shape goes from red to blue, the ground units will now auto advance till the reach the border of that shape and start firing on enemy units in the next shape
