Berserk Charge 15.43

[Duane]

On a MC a DR of two was rolled which lead to a bersek Leader during the opponnents Prep Fire Phase. In his advance phase he moved all known enemy units out of LOS of that leader. When it becomes the Berserk Leaders turn to charge in his Movement turn, since there is no know units in his LOS would he return to normal status at that time?

A15.431 ... 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.

I believe this is a case when the Berserker must charge the last known Location of an enemy unit (unless and until it comes into LOS of another enemy unit). Return to normal only happens if there is still no enemy at the end of the charge:

15.46 RETURN TO NORMAL: A berserk unit loses its berserk status and returns to Good Order whenever it (or the group it attacks with) eliminates all (but at least one) Known enemy units in its Location with either TPBF (halved) or FT during the AFPh or CC, or if at the end of a charge there is no Known enemy unit in its LOS (15.431).​
