So since the rules with a chariot indicate that the model on it can participate in close combat with any models that are in base contact with the chariot are considered in base contact with the model. Now on my opponents turn since the chariot doesn't lock into combat he can then charge the chariot, but does my character get to attack those charging the chariot? The ruling seems vague.

Now also because of the way that CC works can I allocate all attacks from my opponent onto my character rather than have him strike the chariot? Since in regular CC you allocate wounds to any model in base contact and since they are both in base contact, I'm just not sure. Cause the chariot is a vehicle but at the same time in the same "unit" as the character riding on it.

Just some questions that have come up from a recent game I played and would like to know what you guys think and what the consensus is.

Yes, as any embarked model is also in btb with any model in btb with the chariot.

No, there are TWO units in combat; the chariot and the embarked model. Your opponent has to declare which unit he is attacking, and you cannot have wounds from one unit go to another

It is a common misconception, that hsa not been true since at least 3rd, that embarked units are the same unit as their vehicie. They are not - they are separate units that temporarily coexist

Ah ok thanks that clears that up
