What commands require "pause" to take?

Command Ops: Battles From The Bulge takes the highly acclaimed Airborne Assault engine back to the West Front for the crucial engagements during the Ardennes Offensive. Test your command skills in the fiery crucible of Airborne Assault’s “pausable continuous time” uber-realistic game engine. It's up to you to develop the strategy, issue the orders, set the pace, and try to win the laurels of victory in the cold, shadowy Ardennes.
Command Ops: Highway to the Reich brings us to the setting of one of the most epic and controversial battles of World War II: Operation Market-Garden, covering every major engagement along Hell’s Highway, from the surprise capture of Joe’s Bridge by the Irish Guards a week before the offensive to the final battles on “The Island” south of Arnhem.

Am I missing this in the manual? Is there a list somewhere? Can some one enlighten those of us still learning the system?

Assume that anything the directly modifies start times or duration is happier done without the current time changing.
New orders are always ok, but they only take default durations.

Adding or dropping time from artillery durations, or bringing forwards assault time etc some of these timings will just reset on modification unless done in paused mode.

I don't know if this came up during the recent testing/patching so it might be one to pick up next time (unless we did it already and I just didn't notice). [8|]
Important now that more people are trying multiplayer, as ideally you don't want to telegraph a major operation by an extensive group of small pauses...
