Charge bonus.

[SeanyPrawny]

When making a combined charge, say two units of wild riders vs. A unit of sword masters, would you get one combat res for charging or two?

I think it should be two. It takes a bit of effort to get a combined charge and should be rewarded.

Many of my friends seem to think you only receive the one.

Thanks for any help.

You receive the bonus of +1 for the charges only once. See the section for multiple combats in the BRB. Your combined attack is rewarded in that way that:

- you can choose, which unit attacks first to deny stand and shoot
- you are likely to have flanking charges (often it is not the most clever option to charge the front of your enemy with two of your units, as it may keep your units in a single combat for a long time)
- if so, you might deny rank bonus
- you have usually more attacks to run that unit down
- if the first attacker causes terror, you can spare the charge of the second unit in case of a failed test (or perhaps you charge with it as well to make the enemy flee further)
- if the first attacker causes fear and the defenders fails the test, again you can spare the second charge (you are sure to win OR you decide to block that unit for a turn instead of eliminating it in favour of a more valuable target)
- and so on it is all about options

Great points. Still let down but at least now I know for sure.

Thanks so much
