Charge action question

[blackstone]

Don't think this has come up before ( so probably just me missing something), but it was raised during a game the other night. Regarding the Charge action. If a model moves into base-to-base with its first action i.e. a charge and the following close combat results in a draw or face-up state for the opposing model, can the initial model use it's second action for another charge and second bout of CC? Cheers.

definitely.

it says somewhere (paraphrasing) that all close combats in base to base are declared as a a charge action resulting in a combat being fought.

Spot on Jim.  The actual wording from the Rulebook (Pg. 13): "Even if models are already in base-to-base, a model wishing to fight must declare a Charge action to do so."

Here's how your options break down after a first action combat:
Draw, or both models remain Normal
 - No choice here; must stick around and spend the second action on a Charge to fight again.
Opponent is Face Up or Face Down
- You may choose to walk away without penalty, or to declare a Charge and fight again.  If the opponent is Face Down, they are automatically removed as a Major Injury.

Remember that after winning the 'hit' roll, you also always have the option to move 2" away rather than rolling to Wound.

Cheers... don't know why I was thinking otherwise. Makes CC even more deadly
