Really disappointed in this game

Recently, I bought Scourge of War: Gettysburg 150th Anniversary Edition from Matrix Games. I am very disappointed with my purchase for one reason, the control by the AI over the human player's forces.
I do not want an AI to control my forces. When I read about SOW: Waterloo's system for taking control from the AI, I liked that system. But it doesn't seem to exist in SOW: Gettysburg. Without it the game is not worth playing above the brigade level. Also, I dislike not being able to issue orders or do anything by scroll the map while the game is paused.
The graphics are great and the detail is excellent, but the game engine sucks for the above reasons. This game needs to be updated to the same command control system used in SOW" Waterloo.
