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.
