I'm really new, played about 6 games but struggling with the assault phase. My question is during the assault phase and when units are still locked in combat, do you continue the assault the next turn or keep assaulting until it is resolved? Thanks.

Every assault phase you step through all 10 inits, resolve morale, etc. then move on to the next turn. You do not resolve 10-1, then 10-1 again, repeat.

All units that are still in B2B with an opposing unit that has a weapon skill are locked in combat.

you fight a round of close combat in each players assault phase.

So basically you move, shoot and launch an assault, fight 1 round of combat starting at Initiative 10, and going down to Initiative 1 with all models involved attacking on their Initiative. then you determine combat resolution, and if neither of the units are falling back or destroyed they will have to wait until the next players assault phase to attack again.

Wouldn't it be easier to say which model has the highest INIT value with special modifiers go first?
