At the beginning of its MPh, a Berserk unit has no Known Enemy Unit in LOS. A15.431 states that it must begin its charge with, as its target, the position previously occupied by the closest KEU. So far, so good.
If, during its charge, but before reaching this target hex (which is in LOS, and thus known to not contain any KEU), it starts seeing (new and old) Known Enemy Units, does this change the target of the Charge, or does it have to reach the target hex before changing targets? Does it change anything whether the newly known units are closer than the original target?
The quote below (from A15.431) isn't 100% clear to me - it doesn't say whether this "charge last known location" rule trumps the "change target if new enemy unit is known" possibility.

Should the only Known enemy unit no longer be in his LOS in the interim, the berserk unit still charges toward the hex originally occupied by that unit. If it still sees no Known enemy unit, it ends its move after entering that Location, and the berserk status is removed at the end of that current phase. Otherwise, it continues its charge to the now nearest Known enemy unit.
