RE: Some Tactical Questions
About travel mode, it depends whether your unit is soft or hard in travel mode. Motorized infantry is very vulnerable in travel mode, so you will never want to move them in travel mode anywhere near the front. If you know where the front line is and where the enemy is deployed, use the line of sight option to make sure your units are deployed out of sight of the enemy. If you don't know where the the enemy is deployed, use scouts to find out. Recon units move faster when deployed than regular, they travel light because it's their job to scout.
If you are playing as germans they are more often than not strapped for time. It's a race against the clock in all their offensive operations because of the way the objectives have been set. So if you are setting up your attacks for minimum casualties it will cost you time. Instead you have to rely on the superior quality of your troops to force a breakthrough. If any specific unit(s) take a more severe beating in the attacks you can put them in the rear of the formation for some rest before going into action again.
Stacking units, I think only a special rule for artillery and air strikes can affect a whole stack in one single attack. Other than that the units are always attacked one at a time, unless under assault by any number of ground units.
I'm no expert, but hope that helps you somewhat. :)
