bird's eye view

I just got the game activated after a very trying few weeks. The new patch did the trick. I was a fan of the other MadMinute games. I seem to remember you could get a bird's eye view of the battlefield. In the new game, even in the tutorials I can't get the camera to elevate. I have to turn 360 just to see a unit in back of me. I know I will soon have to patch in the new keyboard commands on the 1.2 patch. Can anybody tell me the commands to get some altitude. I currently use two mice at the same time-one a kensington trackball mouse, the other a generic 2 buttton and scroll wheel, as well as the keyboard.

It has to do with rolling the center roller in your mouse up and down (that is, on my mouse there is this little roller between the left and right buttons).


Also, check out the "t" button as that toggles terrain on/off and can be very helpful to see what's going on.

Forgot to mention - once you elevate the view with that center mouse rolling key you can adjust it with the right mouse key.

Also, the higher difficulty options restrict camera movement...make sure you're on Normal or easier for full viewing ranges.
