Re: Newbie Questions
No problem.
One of your units will ALWAYS have "focus", there is no way to select no unit. There is never a need to left-click except to move, fire or select another unit... "accidental" moves can be reversed with the undo button (provided the move did not provoke opportunity fire or reveal hidden enemy). We all accidentally move where we shouldn't just as in reality troops sometimes do so without the commander's knowledge or intent - I know many players (myself included) rarely click at all using the hot keys where possible.
Some scenario designers do mention the size of the forces in the scenario text but by no means all. There is no quick way, that I know of with the free game, to determine scenario size - remember you can save games so you can play a larger game over multiple sessions.
The "Misc" tab on the game options (start up) window includes several settings that can "slow down" how fast the game shows information play with these and the "message delay" setting in the in-game preferences screen to get what you prefer.
