How do these two rules interact exactly.
Does the bonus apply to both attacks, what if a new target must be/is chosen thats not in mele range of all participants?

Which model are you talking about exactly? You might not be thinking of Double Strike (which is only on casters IIRC), which I'm pretty sure is not on any unit, which would rule out any interaction with CMA.

Youre right i meant rapid strike, its in relation of how skinwalkers work with the alpha.

Ah, no worries. In that case, they'll act just as any other unit with multiple attacks and CMA would - I'd suggest reading the "daughter's of the flame" thread, three threads down. Basically, they can combine attacks between eachother in any combination, but each model can only contribute one attack to any single CMA.

So to make an example, let's say there are 3 models (A, B and C) each with two attacks, all in melee with the same target. A makes a CMA, and B and C contribute an attack each, so A makes a single attack with +3/+3. All three models have now used up one attack, all have one left. A then has a second attack, and decides to do another CMA, but this time with only B contributing - so he makes a second attack at +2/+2. A and B have now used all their attacks. C then makes an attack on his own against a different model, with his remaining attack.

There are a few things to remember about this though. Firstly, units with CMA ignore the rule that each model must finish his combat action before the next model starts his - this means you can mix and match attacks as you need. Secondly, in order to get the Charge Attack bonus, all contributed attacks must be charge attacks - if you use A's charge attack and B's second non-charge attack, you get no bonus damage dice.

Hope that helps.

Oh wow that helps qiute a lot too.
Off to read that other thread now.
