c) o You delcare a charge versus a detachement or a set of detachements.
   o You measure to all the detachements' stands to determine which stands are
     in charge range (probably while actually moving the figures).
   o Each stand in range and in a detachement that has a charge
     declared against it must be engaged prior to doubling (doubled
     prior to tripling).

That way, if my Rough Riders want to focus on a detachement of guardians,
I can choose to have them hit just that detachment (and ignore the
Harlequinns/Warp Spider/Exarchs sitting near them). Or I could
choose to have them hit the Harlequins, or I could choose to have
them spread out and hit them all or ... .

Or maybe I'm missing what you're saying,
