* A Turn lasts until you end it to take another one, so... it's always someone's turn even if it's only the defense portion of the their Turn.

3.4.1.3 In combat, when does your turn end?

But everything that refers to turns in the Basic Set – with the sole exception of the active defense rules – hews to the more restricted usage above.
