Can First Strike be played in response to a battle back, a bonus combat, or against several adjacent enemies, and can Counter Attack copy it?
The Counter Attack note forbids copying it; the rest is agreed by several players.

Combats are announced one at a time, so you choose which announced close combat to First Strike, including a bonus close combat. You cannot play it against a battle back, since that is part of an existing combat, and Counter Attack cannot copy it. A defender cannot evade after First Strike is played because evading is declared before the attack resolves. Each separate battle gets its own First Strike opportunity.
