Could explain combat please?
When its your activation does your oppenant get a fight back and then when its their turn get a turn of combat and I get a retaliation effectively giving four rounds of combat in a turn?

Every engaged unit attacks in every combat phase. So the most they would get (excluding special rules) is two rounds of combat per turn.

If there are two enegaments and four total units: my opponent has the first turn, he will attack with his unit in engagement A, then I will pick my unit in engagement B (because nothing else will hit me in engagement A but i could prevent future attacks by striking first in engagement B). Then he will select his survivors in B and I will select my survivors in A.
When it becomes my activation, we will switch who starts but the process will be the same.

It isnt so much attack-react, as it is, everyone gets to go and we just take turns

Ah awesome I thought you had to react like in 40k. Wasn't sure if you had to do it in order or whether you could select the unit on your combat turn. But thank that's answered it
