Good question, John. I think the most reasonable method would be to say
that each man can move towards the rendezvous point at normal rates
(normal
or combat move, your choice) per reorganise action, until all the squad
are
in unit integrity - thus if some men have to move two (or three, or
more)
move actions to get to the rally point, that is the number of reorganise
actions the unit must spend before it can do anything else. Does this
sound
reasonable? If any "funnies" crop up (some troops can't reach the RV
point
at all, or get pinned down on the way) then you may have to wing it or
ask
for an umpire call.
