How do you execute those orders?
When you paused the game (for example by pressing space bar) a few buttons will appear at the top of your screen. I don't remember them completely but I think you need to click "ok" before units will carry out your orders ; pressing "melee" or "retreat" will override your commands.
Also, what never worked for me is setting a complicated course for any unit, in the sense of a course that changes direction at some point. The only orders that worked were straight lines.
Can you try first dragging the existing blue line back until it is only a dot. Then release the button. Then start from the dot to set the course (blue line) you want. That is the way I always did it.
