Let me explain the question starting from the rules.

From the rule book: "In a complete game turn, each player gets a player turn."

So there are two kind of "turn": the "game turn" and the "player turn". The "game turn" includes both "players turns".

Now from the Space Marines codex: "You can enact a single available Combat Doctrine at the start of each of your turns".

So the doctrine is activated at the start of the player turn but .... how long does it last?

Again from the codex: "Tactical Doctrine: Affected models can re-roll To Hit rolls of 1 in the Shooting and Assault phases of this turn".

What does "this turn" mean? "game turn" or "player turn"? if that has to be intended as "game turn" this means that the doctrine is active also during the enemy turn, affecting overwatch and To Hit rolls in the enemy phase.

Please advise.

Turn always refers to Player turn unless specifically noted otherwise.

And you avoided saying that I have been silly and I just needed to move one sentence forward to read that, thank you for that :-)
