Rallying units

Is there any way to rally units faster than just letting them sit idle off the front line?

It's a pity there are no officers in the game.

Below: You can use the "Drill sergeant" bonus (guy with the iron cross round his neck) and the "Rally" bonus (bugler) icons to boost a units morale,
There are other icons too, they appear randomly in Random Skirmish battles and you never know which ones the game is going to give you.
You can keep using them over and over during the battle every couple of turns or so-





Below: the icons appear at bottom left of the game screen; in this example the battle has the Drill Sergeant and Medic icons.
You click the icon then click on whichever beat-up unit to give it to-

Do these bonuses ever appear in skirmish or multiplayer games?

They always appear in skirmishes, but I don't know if they appear in mp or scenarios or campaigns.

In vanilla Skirmish mode (both MP and SP) the Rally, Drill Sgt, and Medic bonuses all have a chance to appear. I am not on my computer at the moment, otherwise I would tell you what the percentage chance is.

In my Enhanced Random Skirmish Mod all the above bonuses can appear, plus I have added the Resupply bonus, which is strangely missing from the vanilla Skirmishes. Again this applies to both SP and MP battles.

In designed scenarios and campaigns the bonuses are all decided by the designer, and in addition to the 4 bonuses I have already mentioned, you may be given a whole range of other bonuses including artillery bombardments, heavy bombers, smoke barrages etc.

I'm back on the PC now and can tell you that the chances for bonuses appearing in Skirmishes are as follows:

Rally; 67%

Medic: 50%

Drill Sgt: 25%

Resupply: 25% (Enhanced Skirmish Mod only)
