Would it be possible to make a multi-assault with a single model unit such as a daemon prince? This came up in a game the other day and if they can then I would like help as to how I can explain it to my friend who thinks they cannot. The more RAW the explanation is the better.

Negative,
Should I be remembering correctly, the rules for charging require the initial charger to be moved into base to base contact with the original target and stipulate that this model can only be in contact with the targeted unit. In your situation the Daemon Prince would have to be placed in a position where it is in base to base contact with the initial target and the secondary target at the same time. This would make it impossible to charge both units as it would be illegal for the initial charging model to touch more then a single unit.

It would just be granting free Overwatch to a secondary unit.

As above. Only the second and on model is allowed to make contact with any unit other than the primary.

Alright thanks that helps alot since we had two conflicting circus players debating this in a tournament and just rolled off for it

i am not contradicitng anyone here, but there is a small debate as to whether the single model unit would be able to declare a disordered charge at all since he can never make contact with the second unit.

one side says that the second unit is a legal target that is in range when the charge is declared, so multiple overwatch and no extra attack or furious charge.
others say that the rules say you are not allowed to declare an assault against a unit you can't reach, and by logic you can never reach a second unit with a single model, so you have to take the bonuses from assaulting and make it more likely to wipe the enemy on the charge.

either way the single model would only be able to make base contact with one unit.

The rules are very clear that you cannot.

"A charging model is not permitted to move into base contact with a model in a secondary target unless it cannot move into base contact with an unengaged model in the primary target." Pg28

Resolution: No, you're not allowed to.
