Starting this thread for people to post playing tips they find helpful...thought we had one but I couldn't find it.
-------------------
On column movement...
Select the first unit in a column, place your highest ranking leader at the top (anywhere from a brigade up to Army level) and then press & hold the "Alt" key and right-click where you want to move. This can be the next hex, or a dozen hexes down the road.
This will move the entire column, everyone under the lead units command. To use this effectively you want to make sure and not mix in supply wagons and disrupted units where possible. Either that or curtail your march to the speed of the slowest unit.
This works across any terrain, it's just most helpful, and most commonly used, when marching along roads and trails.
