How does does assaulting work when after you have rolled your charge distance and moved all of the models that can get to base to base and avoid difficult terrain but then you have some models left over that must move on the other side of the enemy squad to get to base to base but must move through difficult terrain?

Do I have to roll difficult terrain for them and if they can make it to base to base or within 2" the charge fails or do I redo the whole assault rolling for difficult terrain?
This seem to come up often and it starts up arguments a lot.

I find the easiest way to do it is to roll two dice of one color, and one dice of a third color. If the result of the two would require models to go through difficult terrain, then you would factor in the third dice.

you charge in a straight line, the fact that it required you to loop around the terrain to avoid it says you should have rolled as though you were going through terrain even if you rolled enough to avoid it.

Well the first model moves by the shortest possible route, but the subsequent models are not bound by this.

Well, nothing in the BRB says it but i guess it would make sense to declare im charging around this crater meaning i just need a better roll but throw less dice.
Think that would just be house-rule wise stuff, nothing rock solid.

The stipulation that you must attempt to move into base contact with an enemy model that is not already in base contact is usually what will force a terrain roll.
