I re-read the rule book and one of the things that I have to pay closer attention to is multi-charges.

On page 55 it says "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" , combine that with the fact that the model must maintain unit coherency with the initial charger or a model that has already moved before him you literally have to 2 inch your way towards the secondary target.

How do you guys multi-charge despite the movement restrictions?

With small units its pretty hard - but with big units like 20 - 30 orks its pretty easy to have a bunch of guys who can't reach the first but can reach the second.

After you move the initial charger, move your models from the back so you engage all the models in the first unit, then you have more movement for the ones in the front to get into contact with the second unit.

I can't find it right now, but there was a great graphic on the dark city explaining it really well.

Also....you can make it easier by positioning your guys in an optimal way right before the charge (couple guys closer to one, the other guys closer to the other. Just make sure to premeasure so that when the charges are done you're still in coherency. So highly unlikely you will charge a unit infront and another behind you. Its usually when they are side-by-side or no more than a couple inches between them.

As per the current FAQ for the BRB (v1.1 Dec15) you're only required to end your charge move in coherency "if its possible". If its not possible, you just move the model as close as possible to a model that's already moved. Gives you a little more freedom in how multi-charges can be played out, if you give a little thought to pre-positioning in the movement phase.
