Rally bug

Post by Pack Rat »

It seems that while ralling if and when your first command fails and you're close enough for the formation leader to try, if he succeeds the light on the rally button doesn't stay on. Tried this in Wittmann's Rampage several times. The unit will continue to rally by hitting the rally button.
Love those Wittmann scienario's !!

Rally works in succession. The unit tries to rally itself. Should that fail, the formation leader tries, IF he is in contact.
Should that fail, the commander of the side will try if he can do it through the formation leader to the unit.

So you can have as many as three chances to rally, depending on your relation to your superior units.

Grenadier Richards will be pleased to hear that about Wittmann. He did a great job on that one.

Yes,but shouldn't the rally button light stay on as long as you're in the range of the chain of command and all haven't failed the rally check ? The reason I'm persistant is if your message is set to fast you might not reilize you've rallied unless you're watching your surpression number. It also may be that if you come back to the unit later and the light is off you might think you can no longer rally.
