I find that if you really want the feel of a battalion or brigade leader you should move all your sub-units by 'Move All' commands. This rewards staying within command radius and forces shorter movement clicks to keep units together. Infantry no longer seems to be running at full speed everywhere. Units get 'lost' and slow down the whole formation. You need to lengthen any scenario by about 10 turns but it is a much more realistic 'battalion commander' feel IMO. For a better brigade commander feel try setting sub-units to AI control with movement objectives. It gives more of a "Here's my plan" "What the heck happened?" approach to your command level.
