You take on the role of an operator (e.g. Tank) from 'The Matrix' movies to guide your team through an operation (recon, retrieve, destroy, etc... standard mission types). You have a large-scale but limited resolution view of the world where you can spot hazards if you're attentive (because they may only be briefly visible) and advise your team how to proceed (avoid, engage, abort, ...). I'm thinking of a text console oriented game, you type commands to send to the team (which they could follow, ignore, or misinterpret) rather than selecting and controlling them directly.
