    I have an Acer Iconia W700 it supports 10 point touch in Metro Mode not sure about the desktop.

    I have a mouse and keyboard but decided to test the screen for playability.

    Here's how it worked for me
    1 finger press selects troop like left click,
    1 finger Press and hold = move or Right click.
    2 finger pinch worked like scroll wheel and zoomed nicely.

    I cant tilt or pan tho, if implementing touch input into game is crap idea maybe or too awkward maybe some virtual scroll bars on bottom left/right corner of screen, for keyboard less and middle mouse buttonless scrolling.
    And a Troop grouping and commanding groups bar and quick select of groups would be awesome for keyboard less touchplay.

    I salute you for attempting to play an RTS without physical keys. You're a more patient person then I am. :p

    Actually keys aren't such important as mouse, for me at least.

    If i set press and hold speed to fast so right click happens in under 1 second, gaming with the touchscreen is viable, just awkward without extra shortcuts. like assign to group or any other keyboard feature that improves playability.
