I've played before, but my new laptop has no numeric keypad, so I can't use that for movement. My arrow keys take me up and down, but I can't go other directions on a hex map. I'd be willing to configure the keyboard, but I can't find how to do that here or by web search. What to do?

Diagonal movement is also possible with Home/End/PgUp/PgDown, but their layout might not be intuitive for this use on a laptop.

Likely you need to just move by the mouse (even single tile movements as "goto") Make sure you have "Keyboardless goto" enabled in Game -> Options -> Local Client -> Interface

For keyboards that don't have a numeric keypad, for a quick fix you can check the "Keyboardless goto" setting in the settings, and use the mouse to move each cell, this may help improve your gaming experience.
