Any help I can get would be good. Should I just play normal Arma II until I grok the interface.
I haven't played "normal" Arma 2 yet. Only Day Z.
Some controls appear to be different for Arma 2 and Day Z anyway. It took me forever to figure out that 'G' (Gear) calls up your inventory in Day Z. I think Arma 2 uses Tab? Also, '/' = chat.
Anyway, this should help:

Pay particular attention to the 'Mouse Wheel' Section of the guide and anything related to inventory.
And there are like 5,000 servers, literally. Pick one you like and post it here.
(Some servers allow you to select your spawn point, which makes it easier to meet up with other players.)
