I'm pretty new to the CTP2 scene, but I don't think there is a way to do this. It's a fairly big gripe that the players have with activision that the screen does not even center on foreign military activity, let alone bring up their combat zoom screen.
One thing I really can't stand is having my own troops bombarded, hearing the sounds of their dying screams, and not being able to see what's going on or where!!
Argh... Sid Meier; Please save us!
(I think I'll buy Civilization 3 on the very day it comes out -- just so I can imagine that this action will piss activision off! Then I'll play frisbee with the CTP2 Disc!
