Countercharge to avoid flank charge

Hi All

Had something come up and needed a clarification.

I had a TUG being charged from the side (flank charge) and I was wondering if I could countercharge with the target TUG and wheel up to 90o. By wheeling I am no longer a target of a flank charge but a target of a frontal charge.

Is the above correct?

Basically, you may turn 90° and counter charge only if you move in the way , the initial path of the charge .;and the it becomes a frontal charge ! The trick being the "in the path of the initla charge" which is restrictive

FB link only takes me to the group, not the actual thread. I'd like to see it too.  Can you tag me on the FB thread?  Thanks, Dru.
