(page 273 for those who want to look it up).When counting distance, you must use the most direct path.  This path does NOT include solid objects that fill their squars (walls for example).  When charging, you must move directly to the closest square that you could attack from.   So, you count the distance using the most direct path to the creature..if you charge along this path, then you are moving directly to the closest square you could attack from.  If you can enter that square, then you can charge.Thus, you CAN charge around a corner if you have the movement.</blockquote>
