Attack from both sides

So if a marine gets attacked from both sides you resolve first left than right side correct?

What hapens if the marine is killed by the left side?
Do you first shift and attack with the right side the new marine in that place or do you do both attacks first, and than shift?

You shift upon kill, then the right side swarm attacks the marine that now occupies the spot.

Cost me a game recently, needed marine in position #1 to survive an attack from the left, attack from the right didn't matter as much, he didn't, shift, marine in position #2 was facing the other way so couldn't use a Support token against the attack from the right, dead. Of course, marine in position #1 was from the Green team, so should've seen it coming .

wats wrong with green team on df the team dosnt  matter although it should u cant tell me that in melee a guy with a sturm hammer and sheild has just as much chance of survival as a dude with a sturm bolter

Gideon has the same odds of survival 2/3 (though more like 1/2 if you use Block every other turn) of the time, on the turns when he can't use Block, he dies just like any other marine.

i think that the melee marines should always have better survial than the ranged marines
