After the Hoi4 update, I would like to ask for some help and explanation about the new army system and how can I use it properly. Thanks! Hope you help me!

For army groups, there are three options:
1: Select the field marshal and draw a front line/battle plan as before. The AI should automatically assign the armies a piece of front.
2: Give each army their own battle plan. They'll carry them out as if they were independent armies - e.g. as before.
3: A hybrid. Set a plan with a field marshal, but assign one or two special armies their own plan, such as a flanking maneuver. The armies will execute their individual plans first, and then follow the other orders.

I can't stop my panzer army from spreading themselves out over the army group front. Do i have to take them out of the army group in order for the AI to leave them alone?
I found that the new system pretty much breaks independent panzerkorps. I have to put them into a separate armygroup in order to pull off the kind of independent encirclements one might normally do under the old system.
@CharlesV I have a question: After I’ve selected the field marshal with, let’s say, 5 army groups attached and I want to attack Netherlands and Belgium. Will the whole front line cover both Belgium and Holland or only one border?
