Yeah, that's what we'd need to make a General Cam fun. Imagine telling a cavalry group...

"Quickly, scout around the west end of town. Chase down any routing units but don't go as far as the town square. If you meet any heavy resistance come back. If resistance is light, then position yourself for a flanking charge from the West towards the town square, when our main forces come in from the South. Hold position until we get there and engage the units, then charge"

I wonder how many buttons and icons you'd have to click, to send those commands?
