Here's a fun abuse to ponder.

From the rules on the Fight Phase (emphasis mine):

Any unit that charged or has models within 1" of an enemy unit can be chosen to fight in the Fight phase. This includes all units, not just those controlled by the player whose turn it is. All units that charged this turn fight first. The player whose turn it is picks the order in which these units fight. After all charging units have fought, the players alternate choosing eligible units to fight (starting with the player whose turn it is) until all eligible units on both sides have fought once each. ...

So first question: Could you charge a unit and opt to not "choose it", i.e. not actually fight with it? There's potentially ambiguity between a unit "can" be chosen to fight and "All units that charge fight first".

More interestingly, second question: If you can (?) opt to not fight with a single unit that charged, would that prevent all opponent units (and everything that didn't charge) from fighting at all in this phase (as they can only be picked after all charging units have fought, and one of those units didn't do that)?

Why arent people reading FAQs ???? This is in the designers commentary which was released about 12 months (!) ago.

Q: If any of your units are eligible to fight
in the Fight phase, can you choose for
them not to fight this turn? Also, if any of
your units charged in the Charge phase,
do they have to fight first in the Fight
phase, or can you choose for them to wait
until later in the phase?
A: All eligible units must fight in the Fight
phase; they cannot ‘pass’ and wait for
another phase. Additionally, a unit must
fight when it is its time to do so; it cannot
‘hold’ in order to fight later in the phase.
So if a unit charged in the preceding
Charge phase, it must fight before any
non-charging models in the Fight phase
(barring any related abilities).

“... until all eligible units have fought...”
