Page 11 rule book.
Section 3 "Assault Phase"
1. Determine Initiative
2. Resolve the first players assault moves, close combats and fire
fights.
3. Resolve the second players assault moves, close combats and fire
fights.

Looks to be rather clear cut to me. You did it right the first time,
the rulez boyz were on drugs and you are doing it wrong now.
