I've probably overlooked it somewhere but can a Super Heavy Walker charge a unit that it didn't shoot at? Escalation and Apocalypse aren't clear about it. Ordinarily a model has to charge a unit it shot at but SH vehicles can shoot weapons at multiple units.
It probably would have to charge at least 1 of the units it shot at.
If you shot (at any number of units), you must charge a unit that you shot. For some units such as Tau units with Target Locks, or someone with Split Fire, it has been possible since the beginning of 6th to shoot multiple units, and they are allowed to charge a unit that they shot... that means any one of the units that they shot. I think I would say any ONE unit since you always declare a charge first against one unit and then secondary charge targets, but that one unit could be anyone that you targeted.Quote:

The Rules say...
”Super-heavy Walkers follow all of the rules for Walkers as defined in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook, with the additional rules and exceptions given below...”
In the Rules that follow there is no addition nor exception given saying it can charge a Unit it hasn't Shot at, therefore it must charge a Unit it did Shoot at.
