Controlled position question(s)

I understand Risky and Desperate, but Controlled position left me with a few questions.

On a 1-3, you falter, and press on with either a different approach (action), or a risky opportunity.

I assume this means that you MUST do this. I understand fiction-first, but it seems there’s a possibility of rolling multiple times for the same action. If I want to SWAY a guard, and I have Controlled position, failing w/ a 1-3 could have me roll again (with fictional reasoning) with Command. Maybe doing so a 3rd time with Wreck or Skirmish.

My players weren’t in love with the idea of rolling multiple times for the same action, but I wanted to make sure I had the rule correct.
