So in a recent game my opponent declared a charge with a 2 base wide SUG on a 3 base wide SUG of mine - I followed this with a charge declaration of my own on him - fine so far - but then a TUG that was just in charge reach declared a charge on my SUG. We were really unsure what happens here - as the active player my opponent chose to move his SUG first, which would have locked me in combat - so when the TUG charged I would be destroyed - in the end we thought it seemed sensible that having a charge declared on me by a TUG would negate my previous charge declaration & let me respond as normal so that I could skirmish away. Was this right?
Also in a situation where his 2 base wide SUG was already in combat with my 3 base wide SUG - if they were then charged by a TUG I presume that I wouldn't be able to evade as i'd be locked in combat - so when he contacted me would he destroy the whole unit, or just the file he contacted?
If your SUG declared a charge it must charge as nothing cancels your charge.
So your SUG would have to charge, be contacted by the TUG and you know you die !
I just have to check if it POOOOFF at contact or end of the charge phase as I do not have my rules with me
1. If the TuG is within 1 base of breaking then the SuG would not be destroyed.
2. SuGs who are charged after declaring a charge cannot run away or skirmish (page 126).
3. Assuming 1. does not apply, and the SuG is not entirely in rough or difficult terrain, then the SuG will be destroyed and the TuG will continue its charge (sub-phase 2.6).
Not a good idea for SuGs to charge if they are in charge range of TuGs.
