Aligning and Charging Over Hindrances

Charging

Warhammer Rulebook

A unit of Knights charges a regiment of Saurus. The Knights charge forward until the edge of their formation touches the Saurus' formation. 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 impractical 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 battlelines 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 the rulebook. 

Aligning the Combatants

During the movement phase, or move phase, you get the opportunity to move your forces on the battlefield. As with the turn sequence, the things that you can do within the movement phase are performed in a strict sequence. 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 may attempt to rally them. 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.
