Something you MUST utilize...
Many players are having trouble manipulating units in the heat of the battle. The following is crucial:
You must use such important units as TANKS and SNIPERS and OFFICERS in DIRECT CONTROL MODE, and you must MOVE these units with the "arrow" keys ON YOUR KEYBOARD. This is essential when creaping up a tank which is covering your advancing infantry units through the bushes. Essential when crawling up your sniper to where he just gets in 100 meter range to fire. Essential to move the Officer's binoculars around the battle field. Direct Contol Mode is not just "the fun, arcady way" to play Men of War...it is essential. Rick

Your absolutely right. The problem for me was I almost never read the manuals before I play. I was getting my butt kicked in SHoWW2 until I found out about DC. If SHoWW2 wasn't soooooooooo much fun to play I would of quit.

Direct Control mode is what makes MoW so cool =P Kinda a FPS in an RTS game. I always am using DC to use a single tank or officer.....not to much on infantry. Though at times what a whole damn battalion of regular infantry cant do one lone DC'd infantry Machinegunner does then some....IDK how many countless times I have ordered a whole squad to attack a lone guy curled up in a house corner, they run in, stare at him all the while that one guy just shoots the living $H17 out of the whole squad.....I sit there, swearing at the screen and those retarded ass infantry then just take control of one lone survivor and mow him down in a second, then hit the restart button. Infantry are weird to order around in this game. One thing among many in this game is how is it when u order infantry to fire they will run up to thier targets and sit there like they dont have a Line of Sight although the very target your telling them to shoot is sitting there killing them all? If it wasnt for Direct Control mode, the GEM editor and me figuring out how to give infantry 300HP and armor id have a 110% infantry loss rate w/ the stupidty of the infantry.......ok, back to the DirectControl topic.

agreed Kane1...
It is a shame so many will give up early on what I consider one of the greatest computer games ever (and I have played many).
I am new to the game, and just last week I discovered the glories of placing a SNIPER up in a TREE, and putting him in Direct Control Mode if for no other reason than to SPOT enemy units. And it was fun popping the grapes on those unfortunate souls whose heads were popping out the top of a CHAFFEE tank. The game Men of War is extraordinary. Rick

I havent given up on this game, I still play it tons. It has alot of things about it that are pretty awesome like the Inventory, ammo, DC, the way you can break down squads and what not. I guess the micromanaging in general I like but it does get kinda tedious =D
Lolz, RickApple, There was a Sniper up in a tree in some match I played...took me a few minutes to find him then my officer saw him. Still took me a few shots to get him b/c being in a tree hes hard to hit. In fact when I was firing at tha sniper my tank actually missed and the round flew into the back lines of the enemy and killed a random officer...I was like lawl
