1. Is it possible to let the computer choose the best leaders somehow? I have played the tutorial, and the best leaders were not assigned.
2. Is it possible to see an overview over the unit symbols in game?
3. Is it possible to se an approximately calculation of the combat result before the battle, so I can choose to attack or not?

thanks, and forget no.2
Instead I have another question: What does the numbers on the units tell me: ex. 12 -16 (I know that the number 16 is MP's left) - but what about 12?

If it's 1-1, then the first number is the offensive CV while the second number is the amount of remaining Movement Points. The game defaults to this for the currently playing player.
If it's 1=1, then the first number is the offensive CV while the second number is the defensive CV. The game always shows the non-playing player's counters in this mode, since if you're not playing then you're not moving, so you never need to see the MPs

Regarding attacks you need to get a "feeling" on how much you need to be reasonably sure to win. I usually try to use about three times more in attack value than the opponent has in defense, seems to work well in WiTE, worked just as well in SF/WiR

As an aside, I would definitely recommend setting this as the latter. Default is to show movement, and especially as a Soviet player you need to be able to see your own defensive ratings.

The hotkey is 'Z' to change it back and forth from movement to defensive CV value. I do that constantly.

Well, now I have some new questions. Hope it is OK.
1. Why would I want to disband a unit?
2. Can bridges be blown up? if there is any. I can only find 'rail'
3. I have now learned that I have to move forward very fast as Axis, but it leaves large gaps between the motorized units and the infantry units - what is the best choice: to move forward no matter what or wait for the infantry?

for question 1:
you can have an interest in disbanding a unit when you are sure that this unit is going to be distroyed without a real benefit. Disbanding it will send manpower and armament back to your reserve for a better use
this is the same for some hq
go to have a look on the wite wiki :

With regard to question 2; There are no bridges.
Question 3: Thats one of the fascinating conundrums of the game, only you can work out the appropriate strategy. In 1941 Barbarossa I'd say go for it ( but make sure you do your phot recon. Any other time ( 42 onwards ), you have to a bit more careful [:)]
