OK...I'm a CM guy but I have to admit this game looks good. I was turned off by earlier versions for some reasons. Some questions....I thought this game was platoon orders only but the AAR seems to show movement and fire orders given to individual tanks within the platoon. Is this correct and can it be done with infantry as well?
Movement orders seem to use way points...how is this done?

Yes, you can issue orders to individual tanks and/or squads within a platoon. The orders you area allowed to issue to the subordinate units in a platoon are constrained by the Base order you issue to the Platoon's Command (HQ) unit. And the Reaction phase also offers some additional freedom for individual units to react to what happened during the orders execution.

Waypoints are created by holding down the CONTROL key while clicking on a movement destination. You can then keep plotting movement to the final destination. You can have a total of 3 waypoints, including the final destination.

Thanks!
