So there is a command point ability that lets you have a unit in close combat attack even if its not your turn to pick.
Charges let you attack with all charging units first ignoring CC turn order.
Does the commans point ability trump the charge rule?

Example: 2 units already in close combat from a previous round and 2 new units just successfully charged but your opponent wishes to use the command point ability. When can it be done?
After one charging unit has attacked? Only after all charging units have gone and the normal CC turn order starts? Or acter the charges are finished and the first unit has been chosen and attacked in the normal order?

So all you have to do is read that stratagem because it specifically says you use immidiatly after the first charging units attack are done. So you can't even use it if no units charged that turn

There wouldn't be a point to using it on a turn with no charges anyway, as you're already going next.

It also says after an enemy charges. You can't try trumping his command with tour own.

This simply allows you to interrupt multi charges.

Think of it this way. If your unit gets charged by 2 units in one charge phase, both will attack your unit before you can retaliate. Use the CP ability and you get to retaliate before the second unit.

If your already in combat and get charged again by several more units, the same principles apply. But you have to let one charging unit attack you first before you interrupt.

unless your a howling banshee of course! Banshee masks FTW!

Thanks! Thats makes a lot more sense. Figuring out all the new rules has us all messed up.
