Yes, the rules for the LoB and Chaos Card rescue ARE vague. GW cleared
them up in a Q&A for Titan Legions, but I'm not sure if the NetEpic rules
address it.

The card is used to avoid making a damage roll on the LoB's Damage Tables.
Once your opponent has hit, rolled for location and you've failed your save
on the location you can either roll on the damage table and take your
chances or you can sacrifice a random Chaos Card to avoid making the roll
(thus, ensuring the LoB's survival).

Don't forget the Golden Rule of Chaos Cards: They cannot be played ON ANY
unit that is mechanical in nature! This includes Titans, Tanks, Daemon
Engines and the Lord of Battles. Only squishy organic things like troop
stands and Daemons can be enhanced by playing a Chaos Card on it.
