Hello Everybody...

Bonjour,

This looks like a very power full tool to plot your strategy before the battle, but I want to point out (correct me if I'm wrong JMM) that you have the option to just drag and drop units without detailed orders just like any other games.

To give those detailed orders can look over whelming for someone who are used to and prefer to be a "pawn pusher".

Bonjour Lars,

It's possible to send orders to each unit.. without using any Great Tactical Order.
In this case, you have to manage your units, but all micro-management (ie : square when there is a threaten from CAV) is controled by the AI.

I think there is no problem to play like that if you have a small army (under 15 or 20 units).. For 30+, no sure it's possible...

However, in PBEM mode, perhaps each gamer will be happy to control each units...
This mode likes CM one
