There are a number of Hot keys and key combinations that speed the game 
process.

There are six hot keys controling map hex displays

They are:

C  for hex control

S for hex supply

G for hex grid outline

O for orders

Z for ZOC

U for Units

pressing the key while displaying a map will cause hidden information to 
display or if already displayed revert to hidden.  Example-  the map 
normally shows the units stacked on the map, but if you press the U key they 
will all disappear so you can better see the map terrain features.  Pressing 
the U key again will cause the units to reappear.

Some information is exclusive.  I.E. you can't display hex Control, Supply, 
or ZOC info at the same time.  Units, Grids, and Orders can be displayed in 
any combination.

Mouse buttons can also be used to access hidden routines.

A double tap with the right mouse button brings up the orders popup an 
allows you to set retreat orders.  This can be accessed even during the air 
phase by going to a map view and setting retreat orders.  I.E. the Poles 
don't have to go down in two turns if you set retreat orders during the 
first Allied air phase.

Holding down the shift key while clicking on a hex with the right mouse 
button will rotate the order of units in a hex and change which unit is 
displayed on top of a stack

Holding down the shift key while clicking on the end of phase button while 
bring up a dialgoe box asking you to confirm that you want to ship the 
remaining phases in a turn.

Simultaneously holding down the shift key and the ctrl key while clicking on 
the end of phase button will bring up a dialogue box asking if you want to 
ship to the next production cycle.

The T key is used during a movement phase to set destination points for 
units.  (Not yet completely functional).

hexes which contail units which can move or engage in combat during a phase 
will be highlighted until they have fought or no further movement is 
possible.


Hope this helps
