Would be great if it were at the beginning rather than end of turn. Dunno what most do, but unless a unit has nothing worth shooting at and nowhere to go, I rally at the start to make that turns action more effective.
I am a more selective with the rally key. Each unit can rally itself until it fails then it goes to its commander for the next set of rally attempts and so on up to A0. I don't always want to rally a particular unit down to 1 especially if I have other troops in need. So I might rally a couple of retreating infantry down to pinned to hold them in place, then rally an engineer just to the point where he can use a satchel or FT on the bunker in front - and if he smokes the bunker, go back to the infantry and rally them untill they can move back into the line. Then if I haven't tapped out the B0 and A0, rally a routed crew so I can move him into cover and save him for the next battle.

I don't think a rally all button would allow the same degree of finesse - But then I may be misreading you.
