Wishlist - AI Corps control

I miss this feature from WIR, the ability to designate some Corps under AI control. You would designate their objective and the AI would move its divisions and fight to get to that spot.
I think in the larger scenarios it would significantly reduce the player workload, especially for quiet portions of the front.

It was this feature that made this game my all time top 10:

1941 to 1945 in one evening. Moving everything individually is nice but tedious sometimes.

It wasnt bad playing the "Road to" scenarios but looking at one of the full campaign scenarios Im thinking Im headed for a case of carpal tunnel.
Seriously I love the amount of detail and the sense of vastness, but why is a nice feature that made the game more playable from the old version (in 1995 was it?) not included in a release more than a decade later?
Im not asking for something as complex as AI routines from Panthergames but "take your units and go here".

Im one person I cant be expected to run the whole war.[:D] Plus Im always of the mind that tedium in wargames is introduced by developers to compensate for bad AI.
