Oo- very curious to know what "Modes" there are.
Only thing missing are the symbols on the left, but they are really easy to guess. 
Naval Invasion on the left and Paradrop on the right.
Edit: Question would be, if we can also assign divisions to paradrops or if this is all done by the AI? (Of course only if there are Paratrooper in the army.)

What's very interesting is, that you can draw both lines and arrows. Very cool! Seems, that i had a wrong understanding of this feature before and that you still may be able to draw "encirclement arrows", "march route arrows" and so on! All my critics on the battleplanner may have been wrong after studying the tooltips. I really wonder, how the Paradrop mode works...

Good screen grabbing. Really looking forward to the DD on this. would be great if it was a video DD or included a video, hint, hint @podcat

@mdw1985 Funny to see your critics and relief on battle plans all on the same day.
Haha!
I may be shouting out my critics very often, but i see mistakes, when i make them! @grandad1982 : I had to hit the spacebar in the youtube videos a lot of times to get them
(i heard Johan saying "uuuuh Denmark" about 20 times, when trying to catch the last one and try to get it out of my head! )
Fresh out of WWW5: A new button for the planner.
"Area Defence"
Instead of drawing a line you click at the state (more then one possible) and the AI will place troops at the coast, Victory points and such.

excellent work pulling this information out for us. I was skeptical about the battle planner feature at first, but now the excitement is growing.

For the paratrooper (and it work same for marines, replace Planes by Transport Ships and Airport by Port), you need to put divisions (only those with Paradrop capacity) on an Airport who has enough free Transport Planes to use this function, then click the icon and right click the targeted province (saw this in one of the first WWW, maybe it has changed since).

@G-sus Good work on the spotting. Maybe you can compile the functions of battle plan and share with the folks here on your posting *suggestion*, haha
I think that there is decent probity that the Battle Planner will improve of the life of HoI4
I must be going blind but where is the encirclement and march route arrows function? I see advancement arrow but that is the axis arrow.
Hmm... interesting options there.
I just wish there was a DD or video (I might have missed one) on how the planner and unit system scales down for minor nations with only a few divisions. While I don't wish any more micro management for already overwhelming major nations, controlling every unit by hand made playing minor nations interesting in HoI 3. That kind of info might be relevant for orchestrating paratrooper operations etc, too.
