I'm looking to find the rules reference & page number for multiple units charging the same unit. Reasons being that I have a friend I was discussing ways to use the D-Thirster against enemy units like Knights.

One way I thought of, was to Charge the Knight with a unit of 5 Hounds, then subsequently charging with the D-Thirster. Thoughts being that since the hounds were in B2B with the Knight wounds must be allocated to them and the D-Thirster would get a free chop on the Knight at I1 same time as the Stomps. But my friend states that it would be impossible because after charging with the D-Thirster, he would have to pile in and around and would never make it into B2B to begin with so he cannot attack. However I was under the Impression that if I had charged into the Knight whether or not I make it into B2B was pointless if he was within 2" of the Hounds who were in combat so long as I was to Pile In at my Initiative.

Thoughts?

Wouldn't you fail your charge if you can't get at least one mode in a unit in B2B with the enemy? Otherwise your pile in move would probably get you in.

Pretty sure the 2" rule is for that unit and doesn't apply to other units.

I suppose you could try to use a maulerfiend or two to reduce it's attacks.

While you are correct that "models" can attack if they are within 2" of friendly models in BtB even if not part of the same unit, at least 1 model from your unit must be in BtB to be considered in the combat in the first place.

So using your example, the 5 hounds charge, then the Thirtster charges. The thirster HAS to reach BtB to be eligible for a pile-in. Meaning the Knight can just allocate his attacks to the Thirster and then stomp the hounds

Ok thanks for clearing that up Galef
