So, the other night, I charged Ardus out of terrain at Kari, who was standing just a couple millimeters outside the terrain facing it. To get Ardus to fit when he left the terrain, he essentially had to be placed so his side was touching Kari. (in order to keep his back edge touching the terrain)
Does this count as a charge? We assumed so because it was a collison of sorts. Do I square up his side to her side? Or am I suppose to reform to face her side?
Reading the rules for squaring up, I can't actually pivot "around the point of contact" without either ending up back in the terrain or being on top of Kari's base. If it were a normal picot around Ardu's center it could be done, but that's not the wording...
Charging out of terrain and colliding side to side?
Setting a charge modifier while you are occupying terrain will always leave you with a panic token or still occupying the terrain.
You are not permitted to touch or overlap any obstacles other than the piece of terrain that you are exiting. If you can't be placed legally, the action that moved you out of the terrain is canceled and you stay in the terrain.
RRG, pg. 19:
When a unit exits a piece of terrain, that unit cannot be overlapping or touching any other obstacle.
81.5 If a unit cannot be placed when exiting, it cannot exit the terrain, and the march or shift action fails.'
Aha! We missed that enemies count as obstacles.
That clears everything up nicely, thank you!
