How to Play Full Campaigns

[Aolain]

Sorry for bumping a 9-year-old thread, but I was about to ask this same question.  Does anybody else have any more tips on how they manage the grand campaigns?  Also, does anybody have any tips on how to think at an operational level?  Thanks!

As others have said, I move my divisions in an orderly manner.

Once that is done, I use the “n” key to cycle through all my units that have not moved or fired.  The “n” key is your friend!

As to operational thinking, (and I play almost exclusevly DF full campaigns) I never think about moving individual units—sometimes to my chagrin—but in terms of divisions and corps. Once you determine what you want a Corp to do, and I usually plan in game-day increments—I determine how to move my divisions to achieve the Corp mission for that day.

Also, in DF I have a general operational plan for how I plan to fight the campaign; for example as NATO do I intend to trade space for time, or fight a forward defense.
