Overrun question

Hi,

So my witch elves got charged in the flank and wiped the enemy unit in one round of combat. He then argued that I had to overrun, but my understanding is that you can only overrun in the cases YOU are the charger, not the other way around. We could not agree but played it I had to overrun. Is this the case? Are you also forced to overrun when you got charged yourself?

p.58 is cristal clear that you may overrun only if you charged. Note also that it is not mandatory, it is your choice.

Thanks, I knew I had it right but when looking up the rule in the 9th age rulesdocument it was not clearly stated, only mentioned between brackets which was enough for me but I couldn't convince my more experienced opponent who was also sure of his case. Better next time!

Oh, if that was under 9th Age, I did not check.
My reply was under 8th edition...
