Rulebook

Moving a charging unit is often a complicated procedure. For this reason, the charge move itself is covered in greater detail elsewhere, after the basics of movement and manoeuvre have been explained.

As mentioned previously, moving a charging unit can often be quite complex. This is because a charging unit is obliged to fulfil certain criteria: A charging unit must endeavour to bring as many models as possible within its front rank into base contact with models in the charged unit. A charging unit must move by the shortest route possible to reach its charge target. A charging unit must move forward in as straight a line as possible. After moving, a unit that charged must ensure that it is aligned against the charge target.

The Charge Move

The Charge Move (Intro)

Mastery of the Movement phase is vital to victory on the battlefield. It is in this phase that you will attempt to outmanoeuvre your foe, by moving archers into positions from which to dominate the battlefield, advancing cavalry along a flank to exploit enemy weaknesses and positioning regiments to intimidate the enemy before charging boldly into combat when the time is right. As movement is such a vital part of the game, this section is broken down into two parts. The first gives an overview of the Movement phase itself. The second explains movement in greater detail. As always, if you are not yet familiar with the game, be prepared to spend some time checking other sections of the rules as you read through this section.
