Who plays Ambush cards first in a melee, and what if an ambush removes the last enemy units?
The rulebook's Ambush rule gives the timing, and the Melee Strength rule ends the melee when a side is empty.

The inactive player plays all of his Ambush cards first, then the active player does. Ambush resolves before melee FP is totalled, and if one side has no units left in the hex after ambushes, the melee ends with no further effect.
