Yes C2 is one of the toughest things to get a handle on. I haven't yet but eased my woes somewhat by doing the following.
The FIRST thing you do when the scenario opens is SET YOUR OBJECTIVES. It takes 3 orders to set an objective so if you say you can't set an objective later, its probably because you are out of contact, out of orders and pretty much stuck out in the field with no one telling your troops where to go or what to do. So, while your troops are clustered up at the beginning of the first turn, set an objective for each platoon. This will simulate the troops receiving orders at the beginning of the battle like "Take out a likely bunker at this spot" or "Hold this ridge until help arrives" etc. As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, as long as movement is directed towards meeting those objectives for the rest of the scenario, you will not expend orders. The only time you WILL expend them is when you need to send a squad of troops off into the brush to hit a sniper nest or something. At this level, it simulates a leader telling his troops to deviate from the greater task at hand and do something else. They need separate orders for that type of stuff.
Keep your troops together and always keep them in touch. Move your "0" unit last to maintain your chain of command.
