I have a question: what' the difference between atack-ground and atack-move to?
unit - order x unit to atack-ground y
unit - order x unit to atack-move to y
In which circumstances are they used?

@millzy: you can also order an allied unit (or even your unit) to attack move, simply press 'a' on your keyboard and click to a place, the unit will 'move' and 'attack'ing every unit that it encounter during the travel
And, attack ground only work for 'ground AoE attack' (non air)

So just to sum-up what guys above said:
unit - order x unit to atack-ground y - orders unit to attack target point but with splash AoE, what works only if unit got splash damage, if not it will order unit just to attack - move

unit - order x unit to atack-move to y - gives an 'attack' order' to unit. Attack order tells that unit will move forward to tarter point. The difference is that enemies approached disrupt move order and let your unit attack enemies instead. This is repeated with each enemy approached, untill it gets to destination point.
