    Quick questions, sorry if this is common sense but I thought maximizing base contact does not work this way...

    Say my solo scar-vet on cold one got charged by a chariot, do they get a free alignment to ensure that my scar-vet is in base-to-base contact with TWO chariots, instead of one (since my base is MUCH smaller), so that they can lay 2D6 but not just 1D6 impact hits on me?

    Yes; you must bring as many models into base to base as possible when completing a charge move.

    so in theory, a skink priest would receive 2D6 impact hits as well, when being charged by a unit of chariots that is 2+ wide

    that just seems so..... wrong :p (not questioning, just little funny from a physics point of view haha, imagining all the spears penetrating the poor tiny skink priest)

    Say, lets assume 1 chariot base = 10mm (for numeric sake)
    3 chariots = 30mm

    If I have a unit that is 21 mm wide, they will always be, in theory, be in base contact with all 3 chariots?

    One character can be in bases to base contact with up to 3 bases of equal size,
    (corner to corner contact counts as well).

    What n810 said. (Chariots = X, SV = O)

    X
    XO
    X

    So if your enemy really wanted to be mean he could charge your SV with 3 chariots and mush him to bits.

    You put your scarvets on chariot bases?

    Naaa I said equal size, chariots are on 50mm x 100mm bases.

    2 is the max for larger base sizes.

    Oops, yah... I was imagining cavalry models for some reason.

    But if you had two scar-vets as unit....

    If they charge him in the flank they could get 3.

    I lol'd! Good laugh in the morning. Yea, sure, I put all my characters on chariot bases. They make great unit fillers.
