Thanks Maturin. Its beginning to make sense now, especially after I re-read the example [ D ] on page 24. I take it the following are inviolate:
1. Chargers move to the half way point.
2. If counterchargers must maneuver before countercharging, the most they can move is the equivalent portion of the chargers move, but at their normal move rate. (They are not countercharging yet)
3. If both pass morale, the contact is at the 3/4 point (unless see below).
4. If distance counterchargers move to the 3/4 point is less than 5cms (15mm scale) then they don't get the "Charging" melee modifier.

Now on this part I am not clear. Under "DEFENDERS PASS" it says that if the counterchargers had to maneuver, they only "move the equivalent of the chargers move to the halfway point." I am assuming this is the new "halfway point" or 3/4 way point, not the original halfway point. Yes or No? If the original charge distance was a full charge move for the chargers, then this would essentially be a 1/4 of a charge move. Right?

I guess a shrewd commander advancing on an opponent who is clearly on HOLD orders, would advance to just within 12" before launching his Charge in order to deny the counterchargers their 'Charge' melee modifiy. One day I'll figure out how to play this game
