Select your objects using Alt - (drag mouse to capture objects).

Before doing anything else, hold the mouse pointer at your chosen axis of rotation (dont press either button) and press your rotate keys. The group will rotate.

I find that rotation only works when the objects have just been selected afresh. If you move them first, they dont all rotate, so you have to move, unselect, reselect, than rotate.
