I was looking at the preview of the new SoB detachments and I have a question about the wording for one of them.

For the Desperate for Redemption one it says "At the start of the battle round, select one of the following vows of atonement to be active for your army until the start of the next battle round. You can only select each vow of atonement once per battle."

There are three vows so based on the wording you have to pick one, starting from round 1, and then by round three you will be out of them with nothing left to use in rounds four and five.

Am I reading it right?

Certainly looks that way...

Very similar to SM Doctrines. There are 3, active for one battle round each.

Guess so. And you have to pick one - no option to skip a round.

But by round 4, anyway, the outcome of the battle is usually pretty clear.

The key, though, is that the Wording of Combat Doctrines is different, saying that in your Command Phase, you "can" select a doctrine to be active...
