I hadn't thought of the auto-resolve. I'll give that a try... but it sort of defeats the RTS portion of the game, and then I'm only playing a turn-based strategic/resource-gathering game with partially randomized battles.

I'm now more concerned about the blue screen crash I had after I submitted this post and I left DC running in the background while I tooled around other websites.

I'm pretty sure DC caused it... I've run Mechwarrior Online, which seems to strain my video card more than this and never crashed before. I think it froze once on MWO but never gave me a blue screen. I'm nervous about even starting the game now, I don't want to ruin my video card.
