Better automatic return fire. (Little too good actually.)

Maybe better concealment/blow taking, obstacle navigation and sighting too?

Make sure that you have tool tips turned on then hover your mouse pointer over the orders choices. A tool tip should popup stating what movement and firing it will conduct.

Advancing is about 1/3 slower movement than Engage-Move. Units can fire during movement when Advancing but I think only when the unit stops at the end of Engage-Move rubberband.

Units stay in Engage mode when done with their movement but in Advance they revert to Defend when done moving. (Though there is no targeting difference between Engage-Hold and Defend-Hold.) This doesn't mean much for Germans but is not a long delay order change if they want to do some other Engage action when Russian.

Yep stuff like what Mobius said. [:)]

Multiple times now people here have tried to put together a chart of exactly what all the movement and fire types are.
