anybody using two monitors?

Command Ops: Battles From The Bulge takes the highly acclaimed Airborne Assault engine back to the West Front for the crucial engagements during the Ardennes Offensive. Test your command skills in the fiery crucible of Airborne Assault’s “pausable continuous time” uber-realistic game engine. It's up to you to develop the strategy, issue the orders, set the pace, and try to win the laurels of victory in the cold, shadowy Ardennes.
Command Ops: Highway to the Reich brings us to the setting of one of the most epic and controversial battles of World War II: Operation Market-Garden, covering every major engagement along Hell’s Highway, from the surprise capture of Joe’s Bridge by the Irish Guards a week before the offensive to the final battles on “The Island” south of Arnhem.

Looking to get a second monitor. Your thoughts with reference to BotB would be appreciated?

Thanks in advance!

It's great. You can fill one monitor with the game and use the second for keeping your plans or AAR or whatever. The task switching is as smooth as with one monitor.

It doesn't seem to allow the window to be stretched across two monitors, however, as I tried and failed (using the -resolution WidthxHeight command line argument) to make it fill my two monitors here at work. I'm guessing the engine doesn't support multi-head rendering.

Can you place the orders/left hand panel on a different screen to the map. I hope that makes sense

No, I don't think it's possible to have any part of the game window stretching across two monitors. It appears that it's locked to one screen. It would indeed be awesome to have the map on one screen and resizeable info windows on the other (hinthint). [;)]

I have asked for this feature in a few games. Info on one screen and the map on another.

I suspect wargamers will not see it for many years.
