ADVANCED GAME CONTROLS
Once you’ve got a good grasp of the basic controls for your units, it’s time to move on to
some of the more advanced controls that are offered in Red Alert. If you are going to pit
your skills against other players, learning how to use these controls is a must.
TEAMS [CTRL + #, #, ALT + # ]
As you’ve learned, you can select more than one unit at a time by left-clicking on an empty
space and dragging a box to select all of the units that you want to move at once. What if
you want to select that particular team again in the middle of battle? Normally you’d have
to band-box them all over again. This may mean scrolling the screen as well, since most of
the time you are trying to do more than one thing at a time.
You can “Save” all of the selected units into a team. To do this, first select all the units that you
want in your team, then hold down the CTRL key, and hit any one of the number keys on your
keyboard (0-9). This will make all the selected units part of that team. To instantly select that
team, just hit the number key corresponding with that team, and they will all be selected.
