Subject: Multi-Combat Question after your first unit wipes out their models

So I want to make sure that I'm reading this right.
We got Units A and B, both successfully charge Unit C (the opponents unit). Unit A activates in the fight phase, pushes in and wipes the opponents unit off the table. Its then free to consolidate. Unit B now activates, but the opponents unit is gone. I'm not seeing anything in the rules that this impedes the fight phase sequences, so Unit B is allowed to push in, and also allowed to consolidate afterwards. The only requirements I'm reading is that either is successfully charged or was within 1" of the opponent.
Does this seem correct? Is it too RAW vs RAI?

From the Main Rulebook FAQ: Q: If a unit starts the Fight phase within 1" of an enemy unit but, due to casualties suffered and models removed, it is no longer within 1" of any enemy units later in the phase, can it still be chosen to fight?
A: No, unless the unit in question charged this turn it cannot be chosen to fight if there are no longer enemy units within 1". Note that it is possible – if heavy enough casualties have been incurred – that even a unit that did charge may not be close enough, even after a pile-in move, to make close combat attacks. It can still, of course, consolidate.

That is exactly correct. A unit may be chosen to fight, even if there are no longer any enemies around, so long as it performed a charge move. Note that units which can fight two or more times in each fight phase can be selected multiple times (eg Khorne Berzerkers, Drazhar).
You can only direct attacks against units which were declared as part of your charge, however.

So if all charge targets are gone... and I successfully charged... what direction do I make my pile in move? (the consolidate move is towards closest enemy, that I get)

The rules for Pile In are word for word identical to those for Consolidate.
