That works for me...
With each following wave having an operational name so that everyone can tell what stage of the overall operation is occuring, and what contengency plans are being enacted. By having more than one set of Operational plans they'd have a great deal of operational flexibility. kind of like the choose your own adventure books with everyone having playbooks filled with things like "If the enemy responds this way, do this" type of operational planning. It'd allow for commanders to know the contingency plans on how to respond to things. Such as one Corps hearing that their counterparts have taken alot more resistance than they expected, or have been pushed back... they'd have plans for how to protect their flank, while being able to either press their advantage in a way that wouldn't leave them with their bare backsides hanging out in the wind... or a plan that woud allow them to hold what they have taken while providing support for their counterparts who need it.
