=== CHARGING WITH A UNIT ===

Once you have chosen an eligible unit to declare a charge with, you must select one or more enemy units within 12" of it as the targets of its charge. The target(s) of this charge do not need to be visible to the charging unit. You then make a charge roll for your unit by rolling 2D6. This is the maximum number of inches each model in the charging unit can now be moved ~~if they can make the charge move~~. To make a charge move, the unit’s charge roll must be sufficient that it is able to end that move in unit coherency and within Engagement Range of every unit that was a target of its charge, without moving within Engagement Range of any enemy units that were not a target of its charge. If this is possible, then the charge is successful and the models in the unit make a charge move so as to fulfil the above conditions. If this is impossible, the charge fails ~~and no models in~~ the ~~charging~~ unit move ~~this phase~~.

If this is impossible, the charge fails, but you can still move the unit an amount of distance equal to your dice result, but you must end the move closer to the charged unit.

* Declare targets of the charge (must be within 12").

* Charge roll = 2D6".

* If insufficient to move charging unit into Engagement Range of all targets, charge fails.

* If insufficient to move charging unit into Engagement Range of all targets, charge fails, but you still move the distance rolled and have to end closer to the unit targeted by the charge.

* If charge successful, models make their charge move.

* Cannot make a charge move within Engagement Range of any unit that was not the target of the charge.

=== OVERWATCH ===

Few warriors sit idly by when an enemy horde descends upon them, but let fly with every weapon at their command. Though such shots are often inaccurate (there’s not much time to aim, and there’s something distinctly off-putting about the onset of a bellowing foe), each has a chance of felling an enemy and altering the balance of the ensuing melee before it even begins. In fact, a particularly lucky burst of Overwatch fire can rob a charge of so much momentum that it comes to a stumbling halt!

As soon as a charge has been declared against one of your units, that unit can immediately fire Overwatch at the would-be attacker – it doesn’t have to, but it’s often a good idea.

An Overwatch attack is resolved like a normal shooting attack (albeit one resolved in the enemy’s Assault phase) and uses all the normal rules for range, line of sight, cover saves and so on. Unlike a normal shooting attack, Overwatch cannot cause Morale checks or Pinning tests. Any shots fired as Overwatch can only be fired as Snap Shots. Therefore, weapons and models that cannot fire Snap Shots cannot fire Overwatch.

* When declared a target of a charge, you can shoot the charging unit.

* Follows all the normal rules of shooting

* Unit being charged can only fire Snap Shots.

* BLAST weapons cannot be used for Overwatch as they cannot fire Snap Shots.

~~=== OVERWATCH ===~~

Certain rules enable units to fire Overwatch at an enemy unit before it can charge. If an enemy unit declares a charge that targets one or more units from your army that have such a rule, each of those units can fire Overwatch before the charge roll is made. A unit cannot fire Overwatch if there are any enemy units within Engagement Range of it. Overwatch is resolved like a normal shooting attack (albeit one resolved in the Charge phase) and uses all the normal rules, except that an unmodified hit roll of 6 is always required for a successful hit roll, irrespective of the firing model’s Ballistic Skill or any hit roll modifiers. In addition, when a model fires Overwatch, it does so at the charging unit. Any rule that states the unit cannot be targeted unless it is the closest target (e.g. Look Out, Sir) does not apply when firing Overwatch.

* '''Overwatch''': ~~Before charge roll made, all charge targets that can fire Overwatch can do so.~~

* Can never fire Overwatch while enemy units are in Engagement Range.

* When firing Overwatch, shoot with unit, but attacks only hit on unmodified 6s.
