We have some people in our club that have been playing a while that talk about "redirecting a charge." This came into play the other night when A Prince on Star Dragon charged a unit, which fled out of his charge range, and he was trying to redirect into another unit.

In the rule book there is no such section, in fact the closest we can get to it is "Enemy in the Way" which i believe is on p.23. The dragon could have hit another unit had he traveled in a straight line which follows the rule I mentioned, but he was trying to redirect into a different unit off of the straighest path.

Is there a rule for "redirecting" or is it only covered by "enemy in the way?"

This is a hangover from 6th; you can no longer redirect, you have to continue along the line of the charge and see ify ou contact anything. If you do so you can either declare a new charge or else stop 1 inch away.

I figured it was a 6th ed rule creeping in. Thanks

There's a lot of that going around and 6th was awhile ago
