Technically, no.
You see, to send an entire army down to your opponents base in one move, you had to collect all your units together (in a line would make it easier) and then from the very last unit, tell it to follow the unit in front, then it to follow the unit in front and so on and so forth until all the units were following the one person.
Not sure how many other people did that, but that's how my brother and I achieved group movement.

Is there resource management?
I know some "RTSes" don't have it (Myth series, Ground Control) but I think that those are closer to being wargames in a RTS control scheme than RTSes...
Well like I said I haven't played it, but would love to. They didn't mention it in the review. Even so, like you said, it's a definate precursur to the RTS's of today. You can't really expect a game of yesteryear to be able to implement all the features that modern machine.
