One thing that can complicate all of this (or at least possibly provide more options) is the pre-charge slide or wheel.

A. If the FKnight is less than 1UD away then all it can do is wheel or slide to more fully align with the MTE (see p 35 I think) which sounds like it is the 1st Javelin.

B. If he is exactly 1 UD away he can slide but perhaps not wheel (as the beginning of the wheel might bring his corner with 1 UD of the MTE and his wheel will be making him less aligned - but a slide 1 UD to the right might enable him to charge the center (2nd) Javelin and, if this evades, hit the corner or the Crossbow and 1st Javelin, at which point the 1st Javelin must decide to evade or not, and if not the FKnight can choose who to conform to - Crossbow or Javelin, if both Javalins evade then he must conform to the Crossbow he hit corner to corner at this point.

C. >1 UD is similar except the FKnight also has the option to wheel (up to the point it enters a ZOC after which it can only continue if it is more fully aligning with the MTE - see p 35 and the errata).

In any case the FKnight (being non-impetuous) need only charge 1 UD and thus does not have to contact any enemy MKn lingering further away.

PS - note that HI never roll short for their charge distance: 1-4 = normal, 5-6 = +1 UD.
