A charge might fall short. And you know in step 3 whether all initial targets are going to evade or not. So steps 5, 6, and 7 are taking place before step 4. That's the problem.

There is an obscure asymmetry in the process.
If no one evades, then there are no secondary targets to strike.
If everyone evades then you must charge the minimum distance, but otherwise decide whether or not to strike secondary targtes.
But if an initial target does not evade, you must strike all the secondary targets.

Doubt you can take advantage of this tactically, but it is odd

If some evade but at least one does not...

I don't think this would confuse anyone that reread page 43 as preparation for commenting on this thread, but who knows?
(BTW since I've broached the subject, have you reread page 41 and do you have any second thoughts?)
