Can two different units intercept the same charge ?

For exemple : one from the front and one from the flank

Yes

Well in this case the flank interception, assuming it qualifies as a flank charge, would cancel the original charge and so there would be no charge for the BG to the front to intercept Otherwise it's OK

That's an interesting case ! I had not tought about the flank charge canceling the original charge

and if both interceptors would be flank charges, only one would be able to intercept

I can't think why, if both are flank charges, why both could not intercept.

The first flank intercept charge would cancel the charge or is it not the same as a flank intercept charge + a front intercept charge ? admitting that both charges are in range to hit the unit originating the charge

I don't think there is anything that says that 2 flank intercepts aren't happening at the same time and so both cancel the enemy charge at the same time - it is different from a flank + front situation.

Rules say flank interception charge cancel original charge, but charge has been declared, so IMO both interceptions are legals. Anyway it seems a quite rare event (it seems to me there is a BG who get into trouble).

He got nto serious trouble . A knight BG charged impetiously straight forward and Byzantine cav was very happy to be prepared on the flank and another not so in the flank as the rearmost base was not completely behind , just 3/4 of the base .
