Hey! Hope you're enjoying the game sofar!

So for question 1, you have to have enough move to actually get into base contact. So if you're over 6" away you won't be able to make a charge with a model. And you're not allowed to finish a move with a model within 1" of an enemy unless you're charging them (or they have no control zone for.whatever reason, such as being paralysed or having already been charged)

For question 2, a charge does not have to be in a straight line, you just have to have enough movement to end your model's move in base contact with the enemy model. You can move around other models (but can't enter the control zones of other enemy models as you go) and move around barriers, obstacles and other terrain features. You can also cast a magical power during your move.

You do need to be able to draw line of sight from your model to the enemy model at the start of their move to be able to make the charge though.

Hope that helps!
