I am checking to see whether or not my group has read this situation properly. Obviously, I think we are right, but I have been wrong before. So, here goes!
My Dwarf King charges and attacks a Human Standard Bearer. The result is that the Standard Bearer is Wavering. So, in the Human turn, the Standard Bearer cannot charge and is limited to a few reactions. He chooses to Hold!. In the Dwarf's next turn, the King decides to charge and attack a nearby group of Ogres.
We believe that this is legal, but we may have deluded ourselves. What say you?
Thanks!
Jim

Yes, it's completely legal.
The dwarf king wasn't in a combat in the previous turn (the human player's turn) so he can act as he chooses.

Thats the way I've been doing it anyway!
My query would be this:
do units with Shambling still charge double their move characteristic? I would say no, but it's not technically against the rules so far as I can tell.

They DO move double their normal movement, as otherwise they would have a lot of difficulty fighting enemies who want to stay out of combat. I seem to remember it being mentioned somewhere that they do still have charge moves as normal, but I'm sure someone could back me up.

Shambling - can't be ordered At the Double! Charge - distance between Champion's base and closest part of the charge target must be equal to or less than double the unit's Speed. Charging doesn't involve moving At the Double, just at double pace.  |

Here's another question:
Let's say a regiment of bikini clad archers is set up on the edge of a wood and a very unpleasant man on a flying polar bear charges them. His charge is in the open. Do the chicks count as defending an obstacle? Since they survived the first attack(the polar bear had motion sickness...very messy), when they charge out of the edge of the woods, do they suffer the -1 to hit for a disrupted charge? The guys I was watching failed to the -1 option in both cases.
KOW is easy to learn, but teaching it when I am still learning all its in's and out's is a bit of a challenge. So, I want to give the guys starting the game the best possible answers. Hate to screw them up from the start.

I have had some problems getting around this rule too. As far as I can tell from how the rule is written, if you suffer a disrupted charge, and then combat continues on between the two units, every combat will suffer a disrupted charge in each subsequent turn.
My fix to that is that you don't suffer a disrupted charge if you are within 2" of the enemy unit. Not only does that make sense for this situation, but it also makes sense for any other situation where you are within 2" before you charge.
Is there anything I am missing, or is this a good idea?
I'm hoping to include it with other rules changes I've made for my group when we play warpath.
