What do you use to control the game?
Keyboard scroll minimap, tacmap?
Only Cursor + grid Hotkeys?
or Classical hotkeys?

I control the camera with a pair of Dk Bongos while using gridkeys on a dvorak keyboard.

I use grid hotkeys and use Autohotkey to bind the tacmap to one of my mouse's side buttons. I use cursor on the edge of the screen to move it mostly. Though I should probably try scrollwheel panning.

wasd autohotkey script + grid keys + tacmap bound to mouse button all the way. i use shift to disable the script when pressed to be able to use both wasd camera movement and grid keys at the same time. took a while to get used to but i haven't looked back ever since.

One of my people although i basically just moved the WASD keys to the side rather than a disable command.

I don't use the tact map, instead I find myself clicking the squad portraits on the top right to jump to a specific unit or reinforce. Jumping to the retreat point (ambulance) to reinforce everything in the area is something I frequently do. Use F1-F4 hotkeys to build units is a lifesaver too. Brits get F4 for Forward Assembly and OKW get F2 for medic truck which is awesome. I wish I could bind my Ambu to F6 or something.
I have map scroll speed set to very high, something I brought over from when I played Starcraft 2. That way you don't have to move your mouse to the edges as much. For small map adjustments, I use MMB to readjust.
I use default hotkeys too since I'm used to T retreat and R to reinforce. Never got used to grid hotkeys in SC2. I used default hotkeys in Dawn of War 2 too.

I didn't know you could adjust edge scrolling speed! Nice. Here's an interesting thing to note: if you give a squad a control group, when you double press the number you will center your camera on them. Just something I thought you might not know.

you could hold ctrl and press 3, then you would make the ambulance control group 3, then whenever you double-tap 3 you will center on the ambulance. For squads when you give them a control group you will automatically select them when you press the number.
I give my engineers the 2 control group. When I pull a damaged vehicle from the frontline I can just hit 2 and then the vehicle and the engineers will go to repair without me even having to see them on the screen.
Oh and also if you click a squad while holding ctrl you will select all squads of the same type. If you hold shift you will add squads to the selection. (I.e. you could bind a grenadier and a panzergrenadier to control group 1 without them having to be next to each other.)

Great tips!
I usually use all my command groups from 1 to 0.
1 - 2 :: Tanks
3 - 4 :: Infantry
5 :: ATG
6 :: Repair squads (REs or Engis)
7 - 0 :: Artillery or indirect
I find double clicking the ambulance faster than reaching over to 0 for it, just IMO though.
You can also use tab to scroll through the units in your selection or simply by clicking them in the middle-bottom. Helps to retreat a single squad.
Shift clicking the squad will remove it from the selection too. Useful if you have one damage squad in a selection. Click damage squad to move to ambu, shift click it out of the group.

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.

Nickbn: @Rosbone it's incredibly rude to speak on someone elses behalf, especially when a question is directly adressed to them. I understand your passion for the subject at hand but I want to hear from him.

Rosbone: @Nickbn No, I am just saying people should not be using any Relic owned forum since they have proven they ban anyone who says true things about Coh3.
