So just want to confirm I am playing this right and think we have touched this subject before.
Let's say I want an opponent unit to be in combat. I choose to charge with an infantry unit (small bases) and monstrous cavalry(large bases) unit so at least one will make it.
Both make the charge.
Is it possible to put/move the larger based unit first so its in the way and failed the smaller based unit?
I am under the impression that the charges happen at the same time and you maximize the number of models.
“MULTIPLE CHARGES ON A UNIT If several units have declared a charge against a single unit, then roll the charge distance of these units at the same time. The charge moves of the charging units must be made as far as possible to equalise the number of models fighting from each charging unit. Remember, however, that your primary goal is always to maximise the number of models fighting – it is acceptable to have more models fighting from one unit than from another, if to do otherwise would reduce the overall number of models fighting.
On occasion, exceptional dice rolls from charging units might mean that more units can complete the charge than can fit in base contact with the target. When this happens, the controlling player of the charging units must nominate which units complete the charge. Those units that cannot complete the charge against the target are counted as having made a failed charge.”

Your impression is correct. If two or more units have declared a charge against an enemy unit, it is illegal to have one unit charge in first to block the other(s). Only if you cannot fit in all units that have declared a charge, you get to choose which units will complete the charge - and even then, you still have the maximise the number of models in CC.

Depending on actual unit sizes etc - I think it's hard to deny one of your own units if charging with just 2 units.
As the rule states you need to maximise models. Hard to block off the small unit (the one with more models in the front, compared with the M.Cav).
If you had 3 units charging, then it'd be easier to deny a unit. Again though, dependant on unit sizes etc.
