The biggie here is that IF a given assaulting model CAN get into base contact, or within 2” if a friendly model in base contact already, it MUST. If this prevents the assaulting unit from building the “bridge”, too bad. You don’t get your multi-assault unless all of the rules on moving the assaulting models are followed.

Not necessarily. If the bridge builders can't get within 2" of a friendly b2b model, then they can build all the bridges they want, maintaining coherency, and charging anyone else they want (again, maintaining coherency). I guess a good rule of thumb i to charge the far away unit first? I'd like to point again that the movement phase totally let's you set up if you use your full coherency limits (3 guys 2" apart are already more getting you there). It's jsut a matter of being close in the first place.

Edit: I just confused myself. Disregard.

Isn't that what I just said? You can do it, but you must obey the usual restrictions for assault moves in order to legally build your bridge.
