Hand-eye coordination has nothing to do with it. MM has always stated that if the game is to have real time combat, it will be pauseable real time combat, with the ability to issue orders while paused. Simply unpause the game for a bit after issuing orders, and repause it whenever you need to change orders. No click festing, no reflexes needed, nothing. Multiplayer combat will most likely be handled 100% strategically, just as with SEIV, so it _does not matter_ how it is executed, as you have no intervention anyways. It is only for single player that it is an issue. You can make the AI wait as long as you would like; it will not grow impatient.
