Is it possible to pause WBC3, look around, and give orders to your units? I'm not very good at RTS, but always enjoy the ones I can pause when I need to see what's really going on around me.

Thanks,

You can pause the game and give orders just use F12 to pause then hit F12 after you have given your orders

Also, if you're bored to death to rely on F12, you can use AutoHotkey in order to use Space instead.
Autohotkey is a freeware, very light and very handy and very simple to use.

I can give you an example of script that you can use for WBC.

After installing autohotkey, right click on your desktop, then ''create autohotkey script'' (I usually name those files after my games names).
Right click on the file to ''edit script''
On this page, you can delete the text (CTRL+A and del) then:
Write down the fallowing:

w::up
a::left
s::down
d::right
q::i
space::F12

From there, there are two methods to put those scripts to effect, but the best is to compile AND run the compiled script with admin rights (ill let you figure out why).
Your hotkeys are inversed whenever the script is active, you can either right click the active script (down your windows barre and set Hotkeys change to Pause, or exit).

So you can move around the camera with w, a, s, d, but also access your inventory through q and pause the game with space barre.
