I saw this posted over on the warhammer empire forums so I wanted dakka's input on the matter.

Page 71 of the rule book "If the model with impact hits is itself charged, or is fighting a second or subsequent round of combat, then this rule gives no benefit"

Page 30 of our army book under counter charge last paragraph " The enemy does not get to make any charge reactions against a counter charge, but otherwise all the normal charging rules and bonuses apply"

Does this mean a detachment immediately counter-charging say a chariot would negate all its impact hits? Cheesy no doubt and I hope we get an answer one way or the other when the faq eventually comes out, but in the meantime what say you Dakka?

I suspect that it means if the chariot is charged it would not inflict impact hits on the charger. Since a detachment is not technically charging but counter charging the chariot will probably still get it's impact hits on the main unit. Hopefully an FAQ will clear this up.

Sounds like no impacts on the detachment. But it still charged the main unit.

^ All dukes are smart.

"This move is made after your opponent has moved all of his charging units..." The charge still happens. You've DECLARED a charge, but the enemy gets to actually move, complete a charge and impact. He has not been charged before that time. They don't slow down or take the spikes off their charriots just because you're puffing yourself up and saying "Get ready to charge!"
