This is a little more tricky. The way that I handle this is to make a counter
that is transparent around the edges, showing just the flag or symbol so as not
to obscure the entire hex. The counter would have 3 layers (sides). One
totally blank, the other two with the two sides flag/symbol.
For those counters, I have a "does not stack" trait applied to them via a
prototype. Then I use a pre-defined setup to place those counters on all the
hexes that they apply to with the transparent layer on top.
Then, while playing, you click to select the hex (piece) and flip it to it's
various sides showing control.
Easier to see an example of that than explain it so I'd point you to the module
that I did for "Texas Revolution" that uses this exact technique. You can find
it on the vassalengine.org site.
