I should have known that.
Can you explain the issuing of orders. I issue an order to a commander to do something and nothing happens. I click a flag of a unit a courier rides up to and then that unit moves BUT I want to issue orders by clicking on envelope icon, and a particular unit and lets say move North and nothing happens.

You have to issue the order to the commander, then click the unit formation command.

So

- Select the general, double click on destination. He starts moving.

- Then click on the line, or column tool (for brigades) and all regiments under his command will start moving, and form up at the destination.

If you want to give more detailed commands, hit the 'c' key, brings up the courier menu, you can set out a string of orders there.
