I thought you could use the "charge" advantages if it was a two hex jab.

Also do pole weapons get a dx penalty when in traditional hex to hex melee?

Does anyone else find the idea of a charge attack where the charger
practically turns around to be ridiculous? A charge attack is
more damaging because of the momentum gained by running, and turning
like this bleeds speed.

We have a house rule that a charge attack must be in a nearly
straight line: no facing changes, but side slips are OK.
