Sons of Guilliman strat. Is it worthless or do I have poor reading comprehension?

So maybe I dont understand this one. you pay 1 CP to reroll a single attack on 1s or its battleline reroll a single attack. That seems......pretty terrible.

Am I reading this wrong?

Or is this just a terrible strat?

It's all attacks.

For example, the Masterful Marksmanship Stratagem states ‘Until the end of the phase, when resolving an attack made with a special issue boltgun by a model in that unit, add 1 to the wound roll.’
A: The attack sequence in the core rules is based on attacks being made one at a time. Therefore the wording of these abilities matches how attacks are resolved in the core rules. The ability would still apply to other attacks made by that unit, so long as it satisfied the requirements laid out in the rule. In the above example, the ability would apply for each attack you make with a special issue boltgun by a model in that unit until the end of the phase.

In short it's GW making the rules more technically correct while making them harder to read, instead of fixing their core rules to not be poorly written.

if thats the case thats REALLY confusing but also really good! 1 CP for your intercessors to get rerolls, ON TOP of the rapid fire strat would be pretty amazing with Tactical doctrine active. So does that mean for martial precision its all attacks made by that single weapon? (I do not have a codex handy)

**dhallnet**

AFAIK martial precision doesn't specify a duration (in contrary to Sons of G which works for the whole phase) and thus it works only for that one attack you're resolving (it's how it's worded too "when resolving that attack", SoG is written as "when resolving an attack").
