That's not how C&S 3+ works. You start at the highest quantity of APs present (26 maybe) and the initiative leader declares an action (say an attack for 4 AP). That action doesn't happen until the AP track is followed down to 22.

Meanwhile the second place guy in the initiative order declres his action whihc happens after the relevant number of AP have been counted off.

So the first attack happens at 22 and at 21 the leader can declare another action.

If you're attacked and want to do an active defense your declared actions take a 2 AP penalty.
