Double Deuce

Just curious if anyone here is familiar with using Mapping Mission and Map Converter to get maps in CMAK?
I am considering a multiplayer style campaign similar to the SeaLion Campaign BUT I want to build the main operational map (16x13km or so) using Mapping Mission, then import sections of the main map into CMAK for the smaller battles that result from movement on the operational map.
Mapping Mission will do this, no problem, with CMBB but I would rather use the CMAK OOB's and engine without having to manually build maps each time they are needed.
I would use MOCAT for managing operation movement (similar to what they use with the CMBB Meta Campaign).
I am also toying with the idea of using a hex based operational map and just generating maps for the "hexes" (probably 1.5x1.5km or so) where contact occurs.
I know there are similar campaigns out there but I am trying to narrow down the easiest to manage that will be the most fun for the players and not take 3 years to complete. :D I am pretty rusty with the CM engine so I am sure I'll need to relearn some things and get back into practice.
Any ideas?
