I'm sorry for asking such simple questions but I'm still new to a lot of armies rules and I'm starting to face a lot of varied units now.

My question is on Chaos Bezerkers, ie CSM's with the Mark of Khorne from a World Eaters army. 

I've read online multiple times that these guys always have to move towards and charge the closest unit, even if it's a vehicle. 

But after reading the rules for them it seems that while they always have to charge the closest unit if its within range at the start of the assault phase, they do not have to move towards the closest enemy unit so long as they don't roll a 1 or 2 at the start of the Chaos players turn.

I could have sworn that I've read multiple times that the bezerkers always had to move towards the closest enemy unit, but it doesn't look like this is the case from reading the rules again, and I just wanted to make sure I'm not missing anything in the Chaos dex since the rules are all over the place and it's easy to miss things, especially when I only have the codex for reference and not to play the actual army.

Thanks

Your interpretation is correct - it's only if they fail the Blood Rage (?) roll. Most Chaos players take the upgrade that lets them roll two dice so they fail (pass?) more often than not so everyone just assumes they have to move toward the nearest unit. Canny Chaos players can sometimes catch out their opponents who don't know the proper rules!

And also, they must charge is possible. It doesn't say they have to charge the closest unit.

Ok so they DON'T have to move forward but they can't have any ranged weapon upgrades sans getting Plasma Pistols. Is that correct?

And thanks again for the help.

They don't have to move in the movement phase unless they roll blood frenzy.
