Don't worry, mate. W&W is *not* a game where your physical keyboard and mouse skills become critical. True, there is a fair bit of mouse clicking to attack, but that's about it.

Checking the back of my manual, it shows that you can hit "T" as a real-time toggle switch. I don't recall if I've tried it before or not, but you might look at that.

Basically, the only thing that screws me up in combat is when someone is set to cast a magic spell or someone just used something. Some o' them critters require you to click on a target, and my computer has been known to beep and hiss at me a dozen times before I realize it. I leave everyone set at their favorite weapon except for the main character, who has the map up. From either spot, you can immediately attack... as soon as you can spin around.

There are a fair number of random encounters, depending on your game setting (easy, medium, or hard). I always play on hard with maximum difficulty -- more points that way, or so I think. It's not like other games (Wizardry, for example) where the hard setting means that every step can easily be your last.
