    Not sure about zooming, you can drop the camera to slightly above eye level on the battle map by pressing and holding the forward-slash on the number pad (/)... or maybe it's * ? Always get those two mixed up... anyway, one lowers the camera, one raises it, they you have to move the camera's position around to look at what you'd like.

    This is just MTW though, I'm not sure if those controls changed for VI...

    yeah, but being a laptop, there's no number pad either. Hmm... Anyone else know? Or, better yet, where the option is to change the keys for those functions? I've found the key-binding page in the Options-Controls-Assing Keys page, but I didn't find any there that talked about zooming.

    laptop should usually have function keys that allow you to simulate a numeric pad.

    well, classes just started again, so I've been a bit swamped and haven't been playing too much MTW in class. Uh, I mean inbetween classes...

    I know I figured out the function keys that allow me to use some other keys as a numeric pad, I just haven't put it all together though. However, I can tell you that the game runs perfectly on this laptop. Though it can get quite tricky to quickly select and order the exact units around with this square mouse-pad thing.

    Buy a mouse and plug it into your laptop. You can pick a cheap one up for peanuts and its going to be MILES better than using a touchpad.

    Unless you're actually using your laptop on your lap, of course.
