Charging

Main Rulebook

A unit of Knights charges an Orc regiment. The Knights charge forward until the edge of their formation touches the Orcs'. The Knights are automatically aligned along the enemy's front to form a battle line. Note that this extra alignment move is free, and might result in the most distant Knights moving further than their charge move.

Once the charging unit is in contact it is automatically aligned against its enemy as shown in the diagram below to form a battle line. This extra alignment move is free. If it is unpractical to align a unit properly because of interposing terrain, other models, or whatever, then it is acceptable to re-align the charged unit as well (or instead) so that the battle lines remain neat. A confusing situation may arise when interposing terrain or models make it impossible to align the whole unit, for example. Rather than clutter the rules with endless clarifications, we have included further examples in the back of this book. 

Aligning the Combatants

During the Movement phase, or Move phase, you get the opportunity to move your forces around the battlefield. As with the turn sequence, the things that you can do within the Movement phase are performed in a strict order. An overview of each part of the sequence is given below and further rules governing movement are discussed in the section entitled Moving Troops. Declare Charges - If you want any of your troops to charge, you must declare this at the very start of the Movement phase. Rally Fleeing Troops - If any of your troops are fleeing, you can attempt to rally them after declaring charges. Compulsory Moves - Move troops that are subject to a compulsory movement rule. Move Chargers - Move charging troops and resolve other movement resulting from the charge. Remaining Moves - Move the rest of your troops.
