Heheh Rolfor, essentially you are asking "how do I become a good player of wargames?". The best way is to play small scenarios first that deal with localized actions. The objectives and number of combats are limited, so there's less to keep track of, mentally and on the map. You also learn what are the best options in that sector. Then play other scenarios of other sectors that focus on the immediate objectives there. Gradually increase your play as you master the smaller scenarios to where you can play the larger scenarios and finally the entire campaign.
If TAO/KP were a board wargame, it would be a "monster game". New players generally aren't prepared for that degree of challenge and effort. What you do in that case is go through your entire army (in whatever fashion works best for you: Unit by unit, north to south, most important area to least important, or a combination of all) and be sure that your moves and combats are complete. Of course, you still make mistakes and perhaps use a unit or two that you wish you had saved for another combat elsewhere, but then that is the essence of being "good" at such a game.
You'll find that as your familiarity with the situation and game system increases, you learn how to manage larger numbers of units and what their immediate objectives should be. At that point, forming a coherent plan in your mind for your overall strategy will become the big challenge.
