Charge Phase

11.04

Consolidation Move

11.01 Rules that are triggered at the start of the Charge phase are resolved now. 2. CHARGE 11.02 The active player resolves charges with their eligible units one at a time, using the sequence below, until all of their units they choose to charge with have declared a charge and those charges have been resolved. 1. Declare Charge: Select one friendly unit that has not declared a charge this phase and is eligible to declare a charge (see below). That unit declares a charge.

A unit is eligible to declare a charge if it is on the battlefield, unless otherwise stated. Here are some rules that prevent a unit from being eligible to declare a charge:

▫It is not within 12" of one or more enemy units.

▫It is engaged.

▫It made an advance or fall-back move this turn. 2. Make Charge Roll: Make a charge roll by rolling 2D6: the result is the maximum distance for the charge move. 3. Attempt Charge: If it is possible to make a charge move, and if you still want to, make a charge move with that unit (see opposite). Otherwise, your unit does not make a charge move. In either case, the charge is then resolved. 3. END OF CHARGE PHASE 11.03 Rules that are triggered at the end of the Charge phase are resolved now. The Charge phase is resolved by following these steps: 1. START OF CHARGE PHASE 2. CHARGE 3. END OF CHARGE PHASE FAILED CHARGES Note that, in the absence of modifiers to the charge roll, a result of 2 (a double 1) is never sufficient for a unit to complete a charge move, as a unit cannot be within engagement range (2") when it attempts a charge. Such a roll would therefore result in a failed charge, and the unit would not move. 11 ++ A GOOD DEATH EARNS THE EMPEROR'S BLESSING ++ In the Charge phase, you will be able to make charge moves with your units. This represents your forces closing the distance with their foes in order to engage them in bloody close combat. 36
