This has been reported by Egor before, but I didn't realize how 
crippling it was.

The problem is that in 2.1, the 1-4 keys have been stolen for use by 
battlegroups.  But if this prevents the number pad from working...then 
it's probably not acceptable.

So what we need is a new set of key controls for battlegroups.
