The operating system handles the touchscreen mechanism as if it were a mouse. The software would then see the touch events as if you did the same with a mouse. I have not played it that way (no touchscreen) but I have programmed systems that could be used with either touchscreen or mouse without problems.

I know someone that plays WitP on a Surface Pro 3 so if that can be done then WitE should have no problems

I've played both WitP-AE and the WitE/WitW series on a Surface Pro 3. Actually I had the smoothest experience with WitP-AE, since I need no right-clicks there.

WitE plays slightly better that WitW, because of the presence of the "shift" button (discontinued in WitE). Using the active stylus, as an input device, also helps a lot.
Anyway, while I regularly play WitP-AE PBeM on the Pro 3 without using the keyboard (save for enetring the password at the start), I never managed to play WitE and WitW for extended periods of time in pure tablet mode and I find more comfortable to flip open the kickstand and play with the trackpad on the keyboard in laptop mode.

Amatteucci,

I'm looking at a surface pro 3 also. But not sure which one. Will the Intel Core i5 be enough?

I also do Witp-AE and just starting on WitW
