MK4 Unit Movement

We've started playing MK4 games, and amongst all the things we've had to get used to, none is more of a challenge than the new way units move, with a single model charging and all the other models teleporting to within two inches of where it ends. 

In the below situation, my opponent thought his Orgoth caster was safe, but I was able to charge the caster with an entire unit of Cygnar Legionnaires.


If the charging model advanced at least 3” during its charge movement, the first attack with a melee weapon made by each model in the unit this activation targeting a model/unit engaged by the charging model are charge attacks. If a charge attack hits, the damage roll is automatically boosted. Melee attacks made by models in this unit targeting models/units not engaged by the charging model are not charge attacks.

So yeah, that one surprised us both, I think. The whole unit, with its two inch reach, was able to charge the caster and win the game despite the caster's two focus.
