One pet peeve I've always had, is that strategy games never set the level of your command. What I mean is, are you commanding from the General/Legate level, or centurio/Captain, or even decanus/section commander? My point is this, the level of control should be dicated by what level in the chain of command the game is centered around. More control for those at the lower echelons, and less, but not restricted (since orders were assuredly passed on to the ranks through horns, radios, etc.) at the higher level.<br>

Does this make sense Strategy? I just hated it when my armies weren't able to maneuver once ordered, or the opposite, when you have to micro-manage and your left flank is being smashed by armour, and you can't do anything because the troops you are trying to order are walking straight ahead and being run over by tanks and you have to re-order <inhales another deep breath> each one individually because there seems to be a lack of chain of command..... wooooooo!!!!<br>
