Doctrina Imperatives

At the end of the Select Operatives step, select one DOCTRINA IMPERATIVE to be a Primary Mode for your kill team until the end of the battle (note that selecting a Primary Mode doesn’t automatically give you the effects of that DOCTRINA IMPERATIVE for the battle; you must still select it as a STRATEGIC GAMBIT, as below).

STRATEGIC GAMBIT. Select a DOCTRINA IMPERATIVE for friendly HUNTER CLADE operatives to have until the Ready step of the next Strategy phase. Each DOCTRINA IMPERATIVE has both an Optimisation and a Deprecation rule. Both are in effect while your kill team has that DOCTRINA IMPERATIVE. Once per battle, when you select the DOCTRINA IMPERATIVE that’s your kill team’s Primary Mode, you can ignore its Deprecation rule.
