True that is points and click, but this was made to make your "commands"
easier to relay to the so called AI units.  Would you rather type:
Group 1 attack barracks at coordinate 100x, 200y.
Group 2 guard Group 1
Group 3 move to coordinate 50x, 75y; Stop; Set to guard mode.
Launch spy plane at coordinate 200x, 200y.
Group 4 attack coordi.. (hey, there's a gap generator and it covered the map
before I can execute this command for Group 4)... backspace, backspace...
Group 4 stand by.

Get my point? Sad.
