When a unit of Skirmishers charges another unit of Skirmishers, each model is moved individually, starting with the model closest to the charge target (which must move by the shortest route possible to reach the charge target). Once the first model's move is complete, as shown in Fig 187.1, the remaining models in the charging unit are moved as directly as possible towards the charge target in order to form a fighting rank with the first model that moved, as shown in Fig 187.2, making sure that this model is as close to the centre of this rank as possible. Any models that do not have sufficient movement to form part of the fighting rank must form up behind it.

Once the charging unit has completed its charge move, models in the target unit form up against the charging unit's fighting rank, as shown in Fig 187.3. However, no model in the charged unit can move further than its Movement characteristic. Any Skirmishers that cannot make base contact must instead form up behind the fighting rank.
