IMO you should get a charge if:

1. The terrain is relatively flat and without obstacles
2. The target is not running away from you (any other movement is ok)
3. You keep relative cohesion
4. Your unit isn't tired

There should be a tutorial in the next patch or somewhere
i seem to get charges even when i'm not trying in 1.2 its tooe asy if u ask me. maybe you need a bit more patientce
