Thanks for the previous round of help folks, I've got another phrasing issue that is stumping me. My rules have several standard phase (shoot, melee) but I have one phase in which units can move or rally (ie; they can dash across some open ground OR try to get their unit in order if they've come under fire, taken some wounds, need to reload weapons, etc.). I'm currently calling it the "Ready Phase", which is fairly dull and doesn't really describe what is happening during the phase. What would you call that phase? Are there any other games that combine movement and rallying in the same phase? |

Movement Phase. "Units not moving may attempt to rally." |

I agree with robert piepenbrink – or you could make rallying a separate phase from reorganize. This would give yo the option of allowing the best troops a chance to 'rally' while advancing, for example? Just my tuppence worth tho' |

Move or rally makes a lot of sense if rallying can include re-ordering ranks or the like.
In which case one phase is simpler than two. |

If need be, a phase can consist of different segments depending on your activity order. |
