Recon improvements

We are restricted to creating recon boxes. Boxes increase recon losses
It would be of great benefit if we could draw rectangular boxes of different sizes. For example, if you want to cover the Dnepr River line east of Kiev the only effective way to do it and keep your losses low is to set up an individual air directive for each hex. A rectangular box would make this easier. It can also help keep down the miles flown from the air base.
It would also be helpful if we could draw a 'half box' (four hexes). This could be used to slot in between known enemy unit positions. With the minimum 9 box square you are often forced to run recon on hex where you already have enough recon. This increase your losses for no gain. No one wants to have to create four separate directives to cover four hexes.
