I play PBEM only so do not use the A.I I will play any scenario from any Campaign but when choosing myself I choose the biggest. Sides that varies from title in regard to preference but I will generally try any side in any scenario.
   As for when playing I use 
1) 2D Normal view (occasionally going to magnified and again occasionally zooming out)
2) Always have divisional markings on
3) Always use the Nato symbols (even though the others are far prettier)
4) look at objectives occasionally same with supply sources

Shading is very important to me usually Reachable is the most important especially when coupled with the S thing in the toolbar that allows you to change travel mode or save enough points to fire. Command Range Target Hexes Max range and Visibility also all get used a fair bit.

Highlighting is always set to organisation with the occasional switch to indirect fire spotters the other highlight options I don't think I ever use. I also play with the complete toolbar.

Now wondering is this the same for anyone else or are we all very different?

Thanks for taking the time to read.

P.S Always move all my units myself as well never use any of the automated stuff.

All VM's art was from Osprey and was copywrite so we could not officially use it. I didn't think our colourised art was that bad?
