I'm making a war game, but I don't want to use a "hex" or "square" territory
setup for the maps.  Instead, I'd like to use a map similar to that used in
board games such as risk, or Axis and Allies (ie. non-uniform shape).  I 
believe this might be done using a hard-coding technique, but I want the
game to have much more versatility than that (I'd eventually like to create
a map-generator to create custom battlefields).
	One idea I've had would be to implement an object-oriented approach,
but I haven't been able to think up a really good way to represent the map.

						Any advice would be a help,
