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

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.
