If i have a tough unit, and give them the charge order, do those previously knocked down get to do anything during thier activation?

Example: I use Boomhowler quite often as a meat shield for my army.
3 of the unit's number are KD by enemy attacks in the previous turn, boom howler and the rest elect to charge, Do the 3 KD models:
1.=Get to stand forfiting thier action, and move their regular spd, or Viseversa forfit thier Move and attack if already in melee range?
2.=only get to stand?
3.=no activation at all since they are not able to charge?

Also if a unit is fleeing are they still able to make free actions?

Knocked down models who are given the charge order must immediately stand up and forfeit the rest of their activation, as they cannot charge.

Also, define "free action," as there's no such game term.

Boom howlers fell howl, "this model can make one of the following fell calls anytime during is units activation.
It is not listed as a special action.
I can not list another example

Fairly new

No, because when they flee they must run away from whats making them flee. And when a model runs it cant take any other actions.

Also boomhowlers fel howl isnt a free action, its as the rules say: he can use it any time during his unit activation. Its in addition to his normal movement and attack options

Actually, this is technically incorrect. While you must move away from whatever scared you if you move, you still have the option to not move at all. You still lose your activation, of course.

You also lose your attacks, so no free strikes when you are fleeing.
