Many small units, not a metal hexagon?
When I see my battle map, I like to see my units all at once.
It rather disrupts the game when I see a number of featureless hexagons I have to remember. In the real life game this might has been an issue but this is a computer game where we can shrink down unit models, or maybe stack them as they do in the CIV games.

You can even keep the hexagons, just mark them somehow so we know what they are.

How about a flag showing the silhouette of the units within the hexagons? That wouldn't be too difficult to swing, right?
What I would really rather have is the ability to select individual units and issue them orders. I would feel more in control that way. To be honest, people play these games to feel like the commander - the big honcho cheese. Giving me less information about my forces makes me enjoy the game less, not more.

I was thinking about using a stack of ODE counters (or something similar).

Re: Many small units, not a metal hexagon?
I meant symbolic flag of sorts. Maybe one where we can select individual units from those in the hex?
