Such a feature would not only be great for a MP campaign, but also for creating set scenarios for online play. This latter use would be great for certain types of tournaments - some of the proposed ideas for Storm_Of_Shields Total War Olympics comes to mind.

It should be a relatively small task to add such a feature (he said, trivializing the effort) but it has such a huge potential for the online community. The SP campaign (army composition) and historical campaigns/battles (army composition and position) already have and use the necessary information the MP game would need, it just needs import/export capabilities for external use.

This reminds me of the saying:
