	~~=Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}}=~~
	~~==={{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===~~
	The Charger is a ranged warjack, with typical Cygnar stats. It has a powerful gun and otherwise solid construction that allows it to blow away solos and sometimes even warcasters while being a decent no-frills light jack the rest of the time. While the hammer's P+S is higher than than the Dual Cannon's POW, Powerful Attack means you are better off using ranged attacks.

	~~===Combos & Synergies===~~
	* Journeymen Warcasters, the Charger only needs 1 extra focus a turn to operate at peak efficiency, a journeyman running 1 won’t tax your warcaster
	** [[Journeyman Warcaster]] - Journeyman is better than ever at running a Charger, after he upkeeps Arcane Shield, he will have two focus spare which is more than enough to let the Charger do everything it wants.
	** [[Lieutenant Allison Jakes]] - All the same reasons as a Journeyman warcaster except she gets more work out of her battlegroup.
	** The [[Trencher Warcaster Lieutenant]] gives them the same range as a Hunter. This is ideal if you want to aim for even more absurdly accurate shots.

	* [[Captain Jeremiah Kraye]] - Kraye does nothing special for the charger, his feat and Iron Horse abilities may be passive but 2 shots and 1 focus is easier to manage for him than the less consistent [[Sentinel]].
	* [[Sloan]] - She cranks up ranged battlegroups up to eleven, although Powerful Attack doesn't really synergise very well with Guided Fire - you will always underutilise one aspect of the Charger as a result.

	~~{{Header\|In [[Flames in the Darkness]]}}~~
	* [[Fiona the Black]] - Curse of Veils and two POW 12 shots are a strong combination in Flames in the Darkness. If you also bring two [[Thamarite Advocates]] for free they can give a focus to one Charger each, meaning they can fully boost their shots thanks to Powerful attack and Power Up.
	* [[Lieutenant Crosse, Resistance Fighter]] - He loves jacks he does not need for fuel and Fire Group steers him to ranged jacks. As above use a combination of Power Up and Advocates to load them with two focus.

	~~===Drawbacks & Downsides===~~
	* It needs a second point of focus to operate at peak efficiency.
	* Anti-shooting techs will cause a lot of headache.
	* Shield Guards are prevalent right now and that make single shots fairly trivial.

	~~===Tricks & Tips===~~
	* 9 out of 10 times you'll take your two shots to assassinate enemies. On that one occasion though don't forget that you have 10" melee threat, so feel free to charge in, if something denies shooting, such as [[Wind Wall]], [[Submerge]], or [[Choir of Menoth]].

	~~=Other=~~
	~~===Trivia===~~
	* The Charger was released in Mk1 [[Prime\|Warmachine: Prime]] (2003) and considered a turkey back then; it didn't even have a powerful attack
