Question, is a difficult terrain test forced in this situation? C's are a cav unit, able to charge 12". B's are some form of difficult terrain, a boulder or something perhaps. S's are Squaddies. Now, according to the rules, you must charge closest to closest models using the shortest route, does this mean that a difficult terrain test is forced. Assuming you roll too low, you wont even make it to the squad in the first place, even though you can easily make it to the other members withing cav charging distance.

"Now, according to the rules, you must charge closest to closest models using the shortest route, "

Only under 3rd edition rules.

These days, only the first model must move to the nearest enemy. After that, you're free to move the rest however you want, within the restrictions listed on page 37 of the rulebook.

Yes, a difficult terrain test is forced.
