The rule book included in that box contains the same rules as the one you can buy separately.
You don't typically fight in the Shooting phase, so that precludes that option.
Edit: Also, the stratagem in question only has two short sentences and both of them are clear on the order of events.

Btw, it's not meele, it's melee. Make your english teacher happy and google samples on how to pronounce it: https://lmgtfy.app/?q=pronounce+melee

It is activated in the fight phase, so you can't shoot. The purpose of the stratagem is to disrupt the selection order in the fight phase, usually to allow one of your units to attack at full strength before the enemy can whittle it down.

Wow are you a word Police? It sounds like it. English is not my moderation language i couldent care less how and what not. You are flamming and not helping in anyway. Some people in here are answering my questions flawless but theres always someone that has to say something off topic complaints, and thats you mr Bean.

There's no reason to lash out, you're not being attacked - it's fine.

I pointed out the word melee specifically because I find that word interesting.
Interesting because I used to pronounce it the way you spell it and because I've heard the same from so many in my local gaming scene. I guess it's just one of those words you easily get wrong unless you happen to stumble over the correct way to do it.

While the word melee is a minor thing, don't underestimate how spelling and grammar affects how people choose to interact with you. In a written medium like this - it's literally the only thing others have to go on. You are course free to continue to misspell and mispronounce the word if you so choose.

Regarding the topic at hand, the rules for the stratagem are short and every word in the two sentences matter. Go through them again and go slower. If it's still unclear, ask specific questions. You are typically expected to have made an effort reading and understanding the rules before you post questions about them here - That might be one reason why you are experiencing pushback in some of your threads.

Warhammer 40K rules have grown fairly complex over the years with many interacting game mechanics, sometimes in nonintuitive ways.
Take your time learning them and good luck in your games.
