No, I'm talking about the main strategy map. I know there is a small map
that shows the whole US but it doesn't provide much info. I would like to
zoon in/out the main map so I can get a better take on the overall
situation. This is a common problem with wargames and only Panther games
really does it really well so far IMO. Must be due to the vector graphics
they chose to use because it is a very fast zoom and has many levels of
zoom.

Good, and thanks for adding multiple zoom in your next version.

Oh, so you do want this for the strategic map. Your reference to
"overall battle" threw me. Yes, you're not the first one to ask for
this, and we'll definitely be considering it.

I'm curious -- might a more detailed overview screen suit your needs,
or would it have to be a zoom in/out function? Right now you can see
military groups all at once if you click on the button, but don't get
names, sizes, etc.
