    I've noticed in AAR vids that many people do not use walk very often.
     
    Walking is a very good way not to be seen.
     
    I've walked recon units and FOs to locations in full view of the enemy and reached ideal locations
    without being spotted.
     
    When I quick move to a building, I walk to an elevated floor and setup. Only if the enemy is very close do I become spotted and invariably not even then.
     
    Also walking around leaves your troops rested and ready for assaults or fast running.
     
    I don't know how many times I've seen experienced players assault a position with tired forces and have them smacked.
     
    If you plan to assault, rest your men. Too many times, people are in a hurry to engage. Condition is a very important part of the game and is seemingly ignored by many.
     
    Also, C&C is also ignored by many. Its very important. I see players either move their command units to dangerous positions, leading from the front. This is American Civil War stuff. Think about moving command up to a safe, close position in relation to their troops. Try not to include them in the attack.
     
    If you have to move them up for observation purposes, move your troops up first, wait a bit for spotting, then if its safe, move the command up slowly to a good observation spot.
     
    Just a few thoughts.

    The alternative to 'walking' is 'assaulting' across unnecessarily great distances. The perfect way to split your squads at the most inconvenient times, and rapidly tire your men while covering ground no more quickly than a walking pace would have.
