Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II – Anniversary Edition (Classic) Keyboard Controls

Strategy games → Part of the Dawn of War collection →

Relic's 2009 sequel drops base building and hands you a few squads at a time. The number keys pick squads by their portrait order, starting with the Force Commander on 1. The right mouse button does the rest: move, attack, take cover in a building, secure a relay or revive a fallen hero. The rows below come from THQ's printed manual, which Steam serves for this edition, and from Feral's web manual and FAQ for the Mac port.
