A common fault many players have is to spread their units in a platoon formation kilometres apart, they are then out of command control, and if they get a reverse, they will then tend to run away a lot. Therefore, keep your leaders closed up to the men as much as is possible,"

Learn something new almost every day with this fascinating game. Thanks for the clarification!
Remember there is a difference between "CAN rally within 5 to 10 hexes" and "only RELIABLE to 3 or 4 hexes"- both statements are true!
