I have used the battle plans with the update that allow several army to put under command of field marshal. However it never go as I want to.
Case 1: I planned for my Japanese army to push south to but when I executed it push the north instead. In the end, I had to delete battle plans for field marshal and use battle plans for generals instead.
Case 2: I planned to push south with to link up with another Japanese army I use to occupy Shanghai and Nanjing instead it pushed into Central China hard. In the end, I had to micromanagement the direction of assault for troops.
Case 3: I planned to push south to Fuzhou and to link up another army which is hold up in Guangzhou. When I executed field marshal's battle plans, it pulled almost entire all the force on northern front (about 71 divisions) to concentrate the push in the south while leaving only around 10 divisions on the north. Despite China around 10 divisions in the south plus 15 divisions from Guang cligue. result? Communist China, Shanxi, Ma Chinese and Sin Kiang pushed hard on northern front cause me lost those poor 10 division trying to defend the massive assault from those armies as well as Beijing, Qingdao and part of Manchuria. If I didnt micromanagement to force my army north to stop its advance, I would have lost Nanjing and Shanghai, too.
