    I double-click the UI, which drags me over to them WHILST giving a lovely overview of the battle

    There is no middle ground! But I click the UI and drag and select units on the field!

    Anyway, I usually tend to group units and then select them from their groups, of the UI, and assign them that way. Though it can be handy, and quicker, to select them on the field.

    I usually select individual ungrouped units on the UI. But I also use a lot of groups and select units mostly that way by number on the keyboard.

    I NEVER use groups. I always just click on the unit's picture to see them. Micro managing is really easy for me

    The skill of micro is a hard one to aquire. All you need to do is simply play the game alot and it will come. You can use a number of hotkeys and controls to speed up micromanagement, but the whole process is pointless if your playing a laggy game!

    The Pause button. I pause my battles at least every 20 seconds to make sure all my units have the best orders issued to them for the given moment. It irritates me to see the AI able to issue orders to all its units at once, an issue inherent in all RTS games.

    Physically. I don't bother using the UI at times, I tend to make sure that I always know what is happening on the field of battle, and that nothing escapes my eye.
    UI I believe is only if you've lost track of a unit and need to find it because their ammunition is out or they are routing.
