...is there a reason the maps don't scroll? Not complaining, just wondering if it was a conscious design decision, or something else...

PS - Or possibly me being too thick to figure out how to make them scroll?

scroll up and down with the mouse wheel, left and right with shift-mouse wheel

Try searching for the word Scroll in the Players Manual pdf (volume 1, I think). There is a paragraph that describes the various ways to scroll the map.

Wiggle your mouse over the edge of the map, and it will wiggle too.

The first RTFM! That's record even for me! :) Still curious if it was a design decision though...

Picking up units is done by clicking on a unit. That absorbs the left mouse click action. If you were expecting to use left mouse click to activate a 'hand' cursor and then push/pull the map around, that's why it isn't available.

Keyboard and Mouse Commands in the appendices (or via the Help drop down menu) show a list of how the program responds to different mouse clicks under different circumstances.
