What do you all mean with countering the orders?

[talisman]

I almost always sub the yellowed player, thats sort of a rule for me, just against headache.

Thats all interesting stuff, thanks to all of you, but can one answer the main primitive question of the thread - what does order countering mean?

We can discuss what else is important, but I have read a plenty of times 'countering the orders' in sentences like 'you must not only counter the formation but also the orders' or 'after I figured out his orders I knew what to do? Some can say there is no order countering , it depends also on abc and xyz etcetc. So probably I hope for an answer from ORDER MASTERS

I take countering orders to be, for example, using defensive against and attacking opponent, or vice versa. The first will give you a leg up if you are using counters, the second will nullify them if you are of greater quality in the appropriate area.

Other people will have different interpretations...

EDIT: Read up one reply, Tactician has gone into much more detail - I may disagree in minor details, but in essence I would agree with his summary.
