I appreciate the quick response. However, I am not computer language savvy or VASSAL savvy either for that matter. I do not know how to make an irregular grid of polygons or what a “single area object for each area” means. Further, I am not sure that I understand how to specify a snap-to point inside the area.

Say I learn to make a “snap-to” point inside and area. How is the border between areas defined? Would it be the same way as “outlining” an area as I described in the initial posting? If so, that might work.

Could you please point me to some references on how to accomplish either suggestion?
