Rally

When you can use this

Rally may be declared during a unit's normal command window.

Rally cannot be declared as a responding command unless another rule explicitly states otherwise.

When it happens

Rally resolves using the normal command timing rules.

Choosing a target

Rally does not require a target.

It affects the declaring unit.

How to resolve it

When Rally resolves:

1. Roll one Resolve test per missing model in the unit.
2. Each successful Resolve test restores one eligible model.
3. Place each restored model within 2 inches of a surviving model in the unit.
4. Restored models return with full HP.
5. If no legal placement exists for a restored model, that model is not restored.

Restrictions after use

After Rally resolves, apply:

• Shoot
• Run
• Defend

When you cannot use it

Rally cannot be declared if:

• the unit already has any restriction this command applies
• the unit is within 1 inch of an enemy model
• the unit is otherwise ineligible to perform Rally under its own rules

Notes

• Rally is a declared command, not an automatic recovery effect.
• Rally may be declared anywhere on the battlefield, provided the unit is otherwise eligible.
• Rally does not require the unit to be within 2 inches of its controlling player's table edge.
• Rally does not redefine damage, restoration, or placement systems beyond the command-specific steps listed here.
• You cannot restore more models than the unit originally contained.

Example

A player gives an eligible unit the Rally command. When Rally resolves: Roll one Resolve test per missing model in the unit. Each successful Resolve test restores one eligible model. Once those steps are complete, play continues normally.
