Seriously, this mechanic is one of the reasons the original game is a classic. Plan moves and organize units on the battlefield in Command Mode! Exercise your trigger finger in Action Mode! Manage troop classes and upgrades to ensure victory against the Empire! Just watch out for those enemy aces....
