Can you order divisions and corps like old SSG games or do you have to plot and move each piece? Thanks.

You can move all or part of a stack at the same time.

What I meant to ask is can you give orders to your divisions etc. to attack here defend there. Old SSG games always had a command option like the HPS campaigns series. I bought Battlefront and was not to happy to find that they had done away with command options. I also asked in an email and I know they never plan to use it again. I play only solitaire so it helps to even things up by having different levels of command to order about.
 
So is it possible to order the 21st Panzer to attack Caen or do I have to move it and then setup all the different parts to attack like in a boardgame? Thanks.

You need to move each counter separatly
 
The exeption is to can give one order to a whole stack and all the units in the stack will follow the order.

Apparently feedback received regarding their older series of games that had a 'friendly' AI control system was along the lines that most people didn't like it, so they haven't really considered it in their newer games.

So yes, their current land-based games act like boardgames in that regard, you have to push the counters around.
