So, can a unit (A) declare a charge if it has another unit (B) is blocking it's path to it's intended charge target if the blocking unit (B) declares a charge as well? This may need a bit of clarification.
Say, Unit A is in the flank of a Target. But there is also a Unit B in the Target's front, but Unit B's flank is directly in front of Unit A, effectively blocking Unit A if it doesn't move. The player declares a charge with both Unit A and Unit B against the target, bringing Unit B in the front, and Unit A in it's flank. Is this legal? I've always played that if you can't make the charge at the beginning of the movement phase, then you can't do it.
I watched the latest Mountain Miniatures Gaming video on YouTube of Vampire Counts vs High Elves. At 14:50, he does this above. I commented on it in the video, but he proclaims that it's legal. I know that on page 16 of the BRB, it says that as long as one member of the Unit A can see the target, a charge can be declared, but I just don't see how in this circumstance. The horde of Crypt Horrors is simply too big and stick out too far for the Crypt Ghouls to clear them, so it looks like a obstruction to me. I'm looking for clarification on this.
