Berserk units must still follow all the rules of
Squad Leader. Since rule 5.6 prohibits entry into
an enemy unit's hex during the movement phase,
berserk units are not exempted from this restriction.

So, berserk units (also) must stop adjacent to the
enemy unit they are charging and wait until the
advance phase before entering the hex. Regardless
of their available MF (note that a berserk squad
has 6 MF and a berserk leader has 8 MF (in SL, per
rule 18.43).
