What is the advantage of charge? You don't get to attack at the end of it do you?
How exactally does this work?

a charge is a move to the enemy.
as soon as you are in contact with him you do indeed get an attack..

Ok maybe that question was a little dense... but what I meant was:
The rules say any move than brings you into base to base contact it considered a charge.
If you have 2 actions can you Run, then charge, then get an attack? Wouldn't that be three actions?
The rules also say after you are in base to base you can make a normal CC, it doesn't say when you make it, Now or when you have another action.

Charge is attacking into CC when not already in base to base contact. It give you the additional bonus for being the aggressor.

To answer your question. If you have two actions you can run and then charge. That would be the end of your activations. You do not get a third. See my above explaination for charge.
Example: A warband of swordsmen are 5" away from a warband of spearmen. The swordsmen activate. 1st action a model runs 4 1/2" which leaves him short of being in CC. 2nd action he charges the final 1/2" into base to base. So you would then take your CC stat and add 1 to it for the charge. ie CC 9 + 1 = 10 for a to hit number of 10. You would also get a +1 to your damage if you hit.
If you are already in base to base you do not get a charge bonus. It would just be a normal CC attack.
Example:Swordsman is in base to base contact with a spearman. He elects to attack. He would attack with just his CC stat with no charge bonus. ie CC 9 = 9 for a to hit number. DAM would be as normal no +1.
I hope that helped.

i think you need to read the rulebook again, and maybe a dictionary..

THAT was unnecessary. A player asked a question expecting help NOT sarcasm.

Got to side with Philly here. The man is new to the forums and new to the game and asked a question expecting help. Frankly if you don't want to offer helpful advice then kindly refrain from posting. Save the smart comments for spammers and trolls.

no, really, i thought he was not a native english speaker.
also, i have answered his question.
you do indeed get an attack

i think you need ...
was perhaps to strong, but that was a very basic question...
@mlnunn: sorry :)

No offense taken! People who know me often tell me I need a dictionary, especialy when reading my writing.
One of my players thought charge was like in D&D, an action that ended with an attack, as part of the charge. So your answers clear that up. I am sure we will have a lot of simple questions as we get deeper into the game and start adding in all the various parts in full.
Thanks for the help!

Yep... some times the answer is so obvious it looks hard.
