Do I use C&C? : no

Oops, I lost count of the votes. You can obviously tell that my day job is as a tax auditor.

Often the AI is normally too easy to beat without it.

Status: offline 		I use it for preference, but find that many scenarios are not well written for C&C. "Not intended for C&C but I've tried to keep units together" is usually a bit of a trap, I find. this is often code for "a company of tanks will appear on turn 12 in a forest within your rear perimeter".

It must be difficult to write in a way that provides a challenge if you are God (C&C off)and yet is still playable with C&C.

I can understand that C&C produces some weirdo situations. There are cases when obvious cover-seeking options are not pursued. I can't believe that a unit cresting a rise and coming under fire would sit there and take it without withdrawing 50m. But I'm not a military man so perhaps doctrine is indeed as dumb as C&C.

Status: offline 		I use it on occasion, mostly dependant on the # of actual units that I find myself in command of, the real military works on a combination your aquired rank and the size of the force u govern. example { generals don't command squads,and corprals don't command divisions} command structure works by equaling your rank to your assets, I usually get about 3500point start to my campaign endevors which gives me a losely equaled regiment, 800 to 1500 men with all crews and attached specialty squads, so my command should be at least a major if not a colonel,then from regiment to division,1500 toabout 5000 men u get into brigadeer and leiutenant generals and so on and so on.
When my battles have a lot of support I tend to buy more secondary HQs and command posts which when u think of the logistics of so much intersquad intercommand radio traffic theyed need a bloody switchboard and how those runners don't smash face first into each other is beyond me. when u get too many forces for your command unit a natural gap in messages and orders can be expected thats when u should turn on C&C.
