Title: Overrun Combat

Do the effects of the Overrun Combat SCA (Pg. 46 AS:C) work exactly like Combat Intuition?

Can you be more specific, that question is screaming "it's a trap!"
In both Overrun Combat and Combat Intuition, the effects of damage are applied before the regular sequence of move/combat.  So if a unit is destroyed in Overrun Combat and/or Combat Intuition's "first strike", that destroyed unit does not get to move/return fire in the regular move/combat sequence.
I'm just wondering if you have something more specific in mind you are asking about.

Overrun combat doesn't mention the damage effect being applied immediately.  That's why I was asking.  Thanks!
