Some newbie like me could find this useful.

Yes, this is a problem if you play on a laptop without a mouse, as I am sometimes forced to do.

My HUGE wish still remains to be able to issue battle orders from the "view commander" screen as well as the other way around: switch from the "troop" screen directly to giving that commander field orders.

Actually I had this problem before...
...though I did know about F1, I didnt know about the scroll-wheel which sounds pretty useful to me (since I got one on my laptop)!

Therefore thanks for starting this thread!
