For the Union, John Reynolds, 1st Corps, is the Commander-in-Chief until he receives a kill, in which the Command Changes Event Card comes into play. George Meade is the commander-in-Chief for all scenarios that begin on July 2nd or on the Morning Game Turn for games that continue into July 2nd. Note that some scenarios may list John Reynolds as a previous loss.

Gravestones Generals that are killed or wounded have a Gravestone symbol marked on their base.

The number of Player Turns is strictly dependent on the number of Generals Activated and whether and when Players choose to “pass”. The Confederate Player is the fi rst Player for all Player Turns of Rally Round the Flag®. The Confederate Player activates a General and performs all desired Actions. The Confederate Player may then declare a Battle in the current Area occupied by the active General. The Confederate Player also has the option to “pass” and not activate a General. He must always “pass” if he has no Generals left to activate. The Union Player then activates a General and fi nishes by declaring a Battle, if desired, or “passes”.

Each Battle Card has a Formation that describes the Battle Board Column’s set up and tactics. When used as such, it is referred to as a Formation Card. Each column set up on a Battle Board may use a Formation Card. If a Formation Card is not played, then the column is considered “unformed”.

Barlow 1st Brigade 2nd Brigade Designer’s Notes 2nd Division – Adolph von Stienwehr The game accounts for historic command and 1st Brigade control problems of both armies. Particularly, 2nd Brigade if General Reynolds (Commander of the Union 1st Corps and initially in command of the Army 3rd Division – Carl Shurz of the Potomac until Meade’s arrival) is killed 1st Brigade on the fi rst day of play, the Union Army will 2nd Brigade suffer the historical problems of command confusion. As the First Corps commander Corps Artillery and most senior General on the battlefi eld, if Artillery Brigade Reynold’s survives, the Union will be better led to face Lee’s second day’s attacks. Because the small divisions and cumbersome 12th Corps – Henry W. Slocum organizational structure of the Army of the Potomac makes strong attacks hard to execute, General Meade’s defensive posture 1st Division – Alpheus S. Williams will naturally play out in the game. Rally does 1st Brigade not predestine the outcome of the game. The 2nd Brigade design refl ects the tactical, organizational, and 3rd Brigade operational limitations of the opposing armies and their Generals. 2nd Division – John W. Geary 1st Brigade In the Division Command game of Rally, each 2nd Brigade Artillery standee equals 6 to 10 guns, and each 3rd Brigade Infantry or dismounted Cavalry standee equals ~475 troops.
