Rally Coordination: Running a Perfect Alliance Strike — Iron Realms — Rally Coordination: Running a Perfect Alliance Strike in Iron Realms.

One army arrives and dies. Ten armies arriving in the same minute break a wall and win a seat. Here is how to turn a mob into a coordinated strike.

Step 1: Draw the Battle Plan

An officer pins one target and a strike hour. Every banner-mate who attacks inside the window fights with a coordination bonus. The plan turns "everyone hits whoever, whenever" into an appointment the whole alliance keeps.

Step 2: Paint the focus target

Focus-fire marks stack: the more allies that strike the same painted target inside the window, the harder each strike lands (capped, so turnout is rewarded without a mega-alliance becoming unbeatable). Announce the mark in chat and hold fire until the horns.

Step 3: Time the waves

Vanguard — the biggest army leads to soak the defense.
Main body — the bulk lands together inside the window.
Pincer — attacks from two or more regions split the defender's attention for an extra edge.

Step 4: Stagger march times

Because marches take different times from different distances, count back from the strike hour and launch each army so they arrive together. A rally that lands in one clump beats the same armies dribbling in one at a time.

Quick recap

Pin one target and a strike hour; everyone keeps the appointment
Focus-fire marks stack with turnout
Count back from the strike hour so armies arrive together, not launch together
