Thanks for the quick reply. That is what Walrus and I thought, that the rally hex only applies to end turn. Anyway in reference to what you said, the above picture shows the USMC lines (blue), Chinese (red), rally hex for that formation (yellow circle) and the direction that they rout when under fire (green arrow). The HQ for each company is behind the lines so in this case those nasty Chinese have a mind of their own and are ignoring the game rules. The ignore the rally hex that is maybe 8 hexes from them, they ignore their HQ which is maybe 5 hexes from them, and they ignore the nearest map edge being either top or left side and are running off to the right. The USMC rally hex is set a Yudam-ni but they are running to the left while they are deployed as right.
