How different are we?

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.

I'm still fairly new to JTS, but here's my 2 cents: 
  • Definitely prefer PBEM, but still using the AI to learn new games.
  • Have shied away from the big scenarios, mostly because I don't have a feel for how to manage units fatigue long term. Also the idea of a game lasting months is not appealing. Not yet, anyway...
  • Same as you as far as views, markings, Nato. My only complaint about the Nato markings is I wish the units also had standard military size markings (i.e., company, battalion, regiment, etc.)
  • I use shading for reachable hexes, visibility, command range
  • I use highlighting (moved units) to keep track of which units I've moved/fired. Never got the hang of the N(ext) key shortcut... I also use organization highlighting. 
  • My first game was PzB North Africa, so I am very partial to that big, two row toolbar. I'm slowly getting used to the PzC toolbar; don't even get me started on the black powder versions!
  • I do use the automated movement, but still get burned when the AI moves it somewhere stupid (like into a minefield or something).
