Default Classic hotkeys for Company of Heroes 2, Relic's 2013 Eastern Front real-time strategy game. Retreat, reinforce and attack-move sit on single letters, idle infantry and vehicles are one Alt press away, and control groups follow the usual Ctrl plus number pattern. The base manual prints its keys in a symbol font; the general-hotkey rows below come from the fuller, plain-text GAME CONTROLS page of the British Forces manual, which uses the same scheme.
