I have been thinking something similar with regard to reconnaissance
missions (ie checking out if anyone around). I found it tiring to make
my fighter to 

move1: go 5 move in one direction then back
move2: go 5 move in different direction then back
...

I would have like to assign a macro to the unit with logic like:

until ( something seen or happens ) do {
    move1: go 5 move in one direction then back
    move2: go 5 move in different direction then back
    move3: ...
    last move: end back at the starting postition
}

the macro would stop and the unit require attention as soon as an
opposition unit was encounterd. I imagine that it would be possible to
use key stroke recording to write the macros.
