Declaring a charge and boring conversation

[extremor]

When my opponent declares a charge upon Alan Reid who has boring conversation aktive, when exactly does boring conversation activate?

After the charge is declared but before moving. If successful, and if the charge ends still in the aura, the model would need to make another boring conversation duel for the generated attack before choosing a target.

The important thing to remember is that the rules don't ask you to declare anything other than "I'm going to do a Charge" when you start the charge.  Where you go, how you get there (for models with things like Flight) or what you do when you get there (for models with things like Run and Gun) are all part of resolution of the action.

So, rewriting your question to cover the interesting cases...

"When a model is going to perform a Charge, and the subsequent generated action, when does Boring Conversation activate?"

• The model declares that it will perform a Charge.  You check now to see if the model is within the 6" and perform the Wp duel if it is.  If the duel fails, no charge move or generated action occurs.
• You move the model, and declare the generated action, if taken.  You check now to see if the model is within the 6" and perform the Wp duel if it is.  (It is irrelevant whether the aura applied in the previous bullet point).  If the duel fails, that generated action fails.

So it's possible for Boring Conversation to apply to both the Charge action and the generated action (you were inside the aura and stayed inside the aura), or just to the Charge Action (because you are in aura and then leave it) or just to the generated action (because you were outside the aura and then entered it).  It all depends on where the model is at the time.

Exactly what I wanted to hear.
