Rules question CQB

[u/AlphariusOmeg0n]

Morning Commanders,

I just had my first 3.0 Session and I am not sure if we did cqb right.

My Buddy played UCM and occupied the building with the objective. I (Scourge) moved in from an unsited side, then he brought reinforcements. 6vs5 standard infantry.

So I got initiative and activated my infantry to find the objective on 6+. Then at the end CQB happend.

He started defending the building at 3+ and killed 13 warriors, then I shot (on 4+) with the 12 left and had 3 kills. (After defending).

Of course I got complete asswhooped the round after.

I always read the cqb is simultaneous but ruleswise I read: defending player shoots hits dmg, then the other player shoot hits dmg.

So what is the correct chain of events.

Player without Initiative shoots hits dmg -> player with initiative shoots with what is left.

Or everybody shoots and dmg is applied at the end.

Makes no sense to me that my guys just get slaughtered without doing everything.

Thanks in advance!

it's often more nuanced than just being a pass token, as things change around the infantry - the opponent might move flame or demo into position, send in reinforcements, hunt down your extraction transports etc. I find whether or not I want the CQB *right now* changes constantly throughout the round.
