Close Combat: The Bloody First – Rallying And Separation

Soldiers that are panicked or broken often flee, but may rally after a time if they can find a safe spot to recover. If they are within the command radius of a command unit, the chance to rally is improved and the time needed reduced. A soldier may also get separated from his unit in the heat of battle. This can happen if a soldier hesitates or takes cover while the rest of the unit is moving, or if he has gotten far ahead of the rest of his unit during a long move. If this happens, the separated soldier will either wait for his unit to catch up (if he is ahead of them) or attempt to re-join his unit. This process can be hastened by moving the unit closer to their lost man. The presence of a commander can also assist in keeping groups together and bringing in separated men. Separated soldiers feel isolated without the support of unit buddies, and are more likely to break or rout under stress.
