I like Warcraft 2 better than RA also.  But I don't like the 9 units
at a time thing.  I'd rather have the ability the select all my ogres
at once because, well, I'm supposed to be the master of these guys so
if I want them all to run as one big group then I should be able to do
that.  Being able to select all your guys does not take away from
strategy and doesn't suggest "brute force" and less strategy like you
mentioned.  I think it adds to your strategy since it gives you a
greater ability to carry out your strategic idea.  A strategy game
should be a battle of minds, not hand-eye coordination.
