Hello all !
I've got some questions about the correct use of point defense in close combat
Here is a concrete exemple:

Let's say that there is a lone baneblade with its 10 Point defense.
He's charged by a lone empty rhino.
In a future activation, some trolls charge the baneblade too.

1/?Can the baneblade ignore the first rhino and keep the point defense for "something bigger"?
2/?If the answer is yes for the above question, can the point defense fire at the troll even if the baneblade is engaged in close combat with the rhino?
3/?Can you separate dices and wait? For exemple spend 4 shoots on the rhino, and keep the 6 others for the other?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

If these weren't true point defense would be worthless.

Sorry again but i've got two others questions:

Let's take the same baneblade. During the close combat, it's surrounded, kills some foes but not all, and one survive. So during the next turn, he's still engaged in close combat.

1/?During the next turn, can he use again his points defense on the survivor before the new close combat round begins?
2/? If some models pass next to it, can the point defense fire at them, ignoring the close combat?

I think yes but i'm not sure.
