I have an Infantry unit on the first floor of some ruins (so, 3" off the ground).

Can a Vehicle, Bike or Monster unit charge them? Apparently all three of these can only end their 'move' on the ground floor - what about charging? Does that count as a move?

And, even if it they can't go above ground floor, what if the vehicle or monster is pretty tall - can they charge into combat if the Monster's head can get to within 1" of the Infantry unit's feet? If the Vehicle's roof can get within 1" of the Infantry unit's feet?

I believe charging is "sort of move" (pg 176. Units).

Also (emphasis mine):
Distances in Warhammer 40,000 are measured in inches (") between the closest points of the bases of the models you’re measuring to and from. If a model does not have a base, such is the case with many vehicles, measure to and from the closest point of that model’s hull instead.


I'm pretty sure on ground level Land Raider hull could "reach" infantry models on the 1st floor.

Aha - so this means a Dreadknight or Knight can't reach them despite being very tall, but a Land Raider can! I guess it's bashing into the ruin below them...
