I'll tell you what happens - every time I fire this game up, I go through the same motions for setting up and selecting war plans etc, and then as soon as the first wave of battles kicks off, I'm lost and leave. That's about it.
I have saved 2 of my favorite start ups just at the beginning of the first military phase-this cuts down on the tedium of going through all those start up actions.
The eastern provinces are tricky to get around/orientate yourself (unless, I suppose, one is from that part of the world). I make use of the mini map frequently to keep track of my location on the Eastern Front. The more you are exposed to the map, the easier it is to know where you are at. One easy step is to memorize the strategic cities. With a little luck, one of those will show in your battle screen or surrounding map. Memorizing all of the eastern provinces is a choir that I have not gotten into yet.
One other thing; use of the mini map is useful at several tasks, including seeing where you are dragging too using rail movement or redeploying.
