Fairly simple question, if you can still maximise, can you use the charge wheel to avoid charging over terrain/obstacles ect?

As long as you have followed all the other rules of the charge- maximizing models in contact from both sides being the primary one that probably applies to this situation, then you may wheel to engage how you like.

But they may only wheel once during the charge move, and maximum 90 degrees. So you can't go around an obstacle completely (i.e. if they are one one side of a rock and you on the other, you cannot go around it).

Sure but you are thinking of a black and white example, imagine a wall, a unit facing diagonally on one side, and a unit on the other side that can be charged, it certainly is possible in some situations, and has happened to us about 3 times now.



And thanks Red_Zeke!

I thought this was going to be a post about avoiding fanatics during a charge...

nah hamster, I already wrote that one a couple months back. however, the principle is the same.
