Control over the battlefield is always established by controlling specific parts of the battlefield at specific times. This is because you need to know exactly where your troops need to be and exactly when they need to execute a particular order. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to win a battle without achieving control over these areas.

The first thing that you need to do is to plan the capture of these specific areas. This is because you first need to figure out how to get them so that you can plan how to defend them. Always make sure that your men point out weak spots or places that need defending. After all, there are points that are naturally defensible. You only need to focus on the points that need defending so that you can secure those positions. You can use blank flags to mark those areas that you need to defend.

Once you secure these positions, you can get on to setting up defensive structures. Each area will be different depending on which military unit captured the point. This is because there are different ways of defending positions and different military units have been trained to use different methods. They also use different military flags to mark the territory as their own. This means that you also have to factor in which military unit is suitable for the environment that the strategic point is in. Failing to recognize the diversity of military units is a costly mistake especially since you are dealing with human lives.
