I would like to know how people felt when Ender was told he had won that final battle and had destroyed the Formic. I perceived Ender as feeling taken advantage of. Obviously it was thought of as being necessary, but it made the whole war seem like some video game (reflecting the title, of course).

Also, how exactly Ender was able to command those in battle is not clear to me, nor did it seem to be so to Ender. I imagined that his team’s motions were displayed and mimicked by those doing the actual fighting or something of the like.

From what I remember, Ender was wearing a headset that connected to the headsets of the jeesh. He could talk to different people using different buttons. The Jeesh were wearing headsets, and depending which way they turned/tilted their heads, they could communicate with the other people. (Something like Up talks to Commander, Down talks to the soldiers under you, Sideways talks to other jeesh members...) So Ender commands Jeesh, Jeesh commands soldiers on ship, soldiers on ship control ship, and all the moves of the ship are shown to Ender who proceeds to command Jeesh, and so on.
I also remember something along the lines of "Ender continued to watch as the ships on the screen moved, and as the Doctor Device made it's way to the planet's surface" So Ender and the Jeesh never controlled the ships, they commanded the people who controlled the ships.
Does that explain much? I think all the details were in ES, not EG, but I haven't read either in a while.

ES is more detailed that EG.
