4) Contact is determined at the start of your phase. ordinary elements are determined for their platoon leader, leaders for the next formation level up.
NB - sometimes (and rarely) contact is allowed beyond 10 hexes with no LOS or radio link. Assume someone sent a runner/liaison officer to find them.

Is there any reason why a platoon commander (w/ rally points available) would not help rally a subordinate who is in contact? Is there an additional "roll" that I'm unaware of? I feel like I'm missing something.
I know this is an old post, but hopefully you can help me out. Thanks in advance,

SP rallies
down the command chain. The highest leader available rallies a unit first in the SP universe. Once he has exhausted his rallies, the next down has a go, and finally the unit leader is the final one to have a go.
Therefore it is usually best to check the platoon CO first as if he is in need of rallying from pinned you want him to do his own unit
first. Otherwise you might end up with rallied subordinates and a still pinned platoon and/or company CO holding any advance up.
I
have thought about rewriting the rally code to the (logical) sequence of lowest leader till rallies are expended, then platoon, etc (- i.e.
up the command hierarchy) but have never quite got round to it.
