People have no idea how difficult it is in real life to dodge a charging animal. The only chance of moving out of the way is to leave it to the very last instant before contact, otherwise it is absurdly easy for the animal to alter its course. The larger the animal, the harder it is to avoid. No way should you restrict the attack to the middle hex. The only way a realistic person is going to avoid an elephant or rhino that is deliberately trying to charge them is to get behind a substantial barrier or to shoot it dead before it arrives.
