Yes, not a deal-breaker for me, but just one that I thought was a simple idea.
I remember Wayne and i once had a scenario where this came to me as we had each of our forces in river hexes and it would have been useful to display what river bank each stack was on.
One of the reasons why lots of games have the rivers running along hexsides rather than through the middle of them. It can appear a little quirky path-wise, but it does mean it's easy to see where you are, and when you've crossed.
Not much help for PG now though. I know I have a game(s) with counters with arrows on them ... I think from CoA's La Bataille series. They would be perfect to show which side the unit's on.
