I'm playing the Demo and I like the game. A lot like Spartan except (obviously) this is only about battles. Anyway, some questions before I buy:
1) Is the game like the Demo in that you can only follow a predetermined set of battles?
2) During battle, is there a way to give orders to specific groups? If there is, I missed it. I find it very aggravating to have a unit beat their opposite number, than just stand around doing nothing while a nearby unit is getting pounded.
Thanks!!!

1) Yes

2) Oh heck yeah! Just click on the unit, either on the battlefield or on the row of figures below it, then r-click where you want them to go, or move the cursor over the enemy unit you want them to attack, wait for the sword cursor, and then r-click to order them to attack.

This is the chief advantage (besides graphics) of LA over Startan/GoT; you can actually order your troops around during the battle.

When you have the full game, you'll also find you can give waypoints to your units before the game begins...

OK, thanks Possum! Ah 'preciate it!
