I remember reading somewhere that one of the changes planned for an upcoming patch would be the ability to watch turn resolutions zoomed further in.

Or did I dream it?

I'll reply to this here as well:

We found early on that zooming out actually gave the player much better awareness of how the battle was unfolding. After each combat, a line is drawn showing which units are exchanging fire. Casualty numbers are also displayed above them if appropriate and a combat report tells you which units were involved.

There are two more planned improvements for this post-release. First, to add the flag next to the unit name in the combat report so that some cases where you have, for example, the East Tennessee unit firing on the Tennessee unit are less confusing.

The second is an option to stay zoomed in during combat.

You'll only get the full sounds and casualties showed if there was actually some damage caused. In some cases a unit wants to fire, but is unable to due to order limitations, or it's out of effective range. The end of turn report should explain this.
