Redirecting a Charge
URL Copied!

If your opponent flees it can happen that another enemy unit is presented within your charge range. For example, where two enemy units are placed one behind another, if the front unit flees the chargers will be faced by the second. If this fresh enemy unit is within the chargers' charge move then the charger is allowed to redirect the charge. The player must declare that his unit is charging against the new target, and the target must make a response as normal. However, the revealed enemy unit may not stand and shoot because its frontage is covered by its own side's troops as they flee past or through their formation. Therefore it is only possibly for the enemy unit to either flee or hold.

The target unit flees away from the charge revealing another unit behind. The chargers can redirect the charge onto the 2nd unit if the player wishes.
