A few of the Hero units from VC's WoC and Dark Elves grant the above mentioned ability.

How are players resolving the second pile in and attack?
Are both pile in and attacks made against the same unit?
If the unit you initially made a pile in and attack against is wiped out, can you then pile in and attack a second unit within 3", or is it wasted?

Thanks,

We have been playing it as they can simply be chosen to activate twice in that combat phase. So, this would provide the following answers to your questions:

1) You just nominate the unit a second time sometime during the combat phase, this forces your opinion to continue to consider that unit a threat, rather than jumping to activate one of their units in another combat (the Standard A1-A2 and B1-B2 play, where I activate A, then you activate B because your A is already "safe")

2) It counts as a second activation, so you can distribute the attacks differently.

3) As long as the second unit is within 3"+weapon range you can, but if it isn't you can waste the second pile in.

Standard pile-in rules should apply. (a) piling-in is optional, and (b) should a model pile-in, it must be toward the closest enemy model. You can then attack units within weapon range, which may or may not be the unit (model) you piled-in to.

If the enemy unit is wiped-out by the first attack, you can certainly pile-in to another unit within 3".

Thanks for clearing that up.

It's good to have the option to attack twice or pile-in and attack different targets if the first is wiped out.
Cheers
