The idea has finally clicked in my head when i was micromanagig every unit in Spanish Civil War and since frontline improvements are on to-do list, i felt like throwing an idea in.

What if we were able to create multiple focus points in frontline so that we have have enough divisions to support a spearhead?

What i mean is, when im trying to create small pockets, i have to run a division through enemy territory and as the division goes on its way, enemy can fill the holes and pocket me instead. Now, i can attack with my other division to delay them filling the gaps like suppresing fire, entrenching in instead is better idea. To do so, i manually bring other units in frontline but once they are done moving, they tend to go back somewhere else - spread evenly across frontline.

Another case would be, say, enemy has several land forts along the border but not evenly distributed. I logically, wouldn't try to break through forts so i wouldn't want my division pile up in front of it. Having as less division as possible to just hold the line would be enough.

I would like to know what you think about this idea. Any input is welcome.

Why don't you take more divisions?
Let's say you want to "pocket" some enemy divisions and therefor you have to "occupy" 10 provinces before reconnecting your own frontline ( or coast ).
Draw a division-line: on your way through the enemy territory just leave 1 or 2 divisions in that province you just captured. Got to the next province and leave also 1 or 2 divisions in...etc, etc. of course you have to micro that.

Might be a good idea to use fast moving units like tanks or mot for this task.

The AI still has problems to perform well with one focal point; I don't think it could handle more in a better way. In my point of view the whole AI battle system is based on WWI - tactics; true mobile-warfare is outside of their capability.

Therefor I micro everything, and I'm still happy with that. :)
