Noob with a few important questions

Post by Matt68046 »

I have a couple questions that would really help me. First, how do you pause the game? It seems imposible to micromanage an entire army, but could be done easy with pausing and giving orders then unpausing.
Second, why does the AI keep taking over my command? I went around and found the col. and Brig. generals all that i could and then clicked the flag "take command from AI" does this mean that the brigade is now and forever under my command, or it seems as soon as they take fire, the AI takes over again. I really like to micromanage and don't mind doing so. Seems like the whole point of this game is to sit back and watch. I REALLY want to control every aspect of Gettysburg scenarios and i also bought antietam, maybe get chancerosville if i can figure this out. Lastly, question 3, how do i go between commanders, and if i put say a Divisional general under human control, will that make his entire division under my control? Someone please explain all this to me as ive looked online and cant find answers....that would be awsome thx!
