chalk me up as someone who loves the double turn. It’s been debated in other topics and is a bit off topic here. Personally I blame the double turn hate on three main things. First, playing with too much and too powerful shooting....I definitely think that without it going first would be way way too powerful in the current game. There are already a ton of competitive lists that want to go first. The double turn balances this.
The double turn personally prevents me from getting back into the game. It was something that I liked during AoS 0.5, but gradually grew to dislike. During the first disciples of Tzeench battle tome there was a way using a formation to absolutely erase army's with shooting on a double turn. It was then that I realized that I hated the rule. The double turn is something that can leave you feeling dirty for doing it and bitter for having it done to you. Which is never good when you should be having fun. It also is just as much a problem as the first turn priority and it isn't necessary to fix a problem with another problem. You'll have just have one problem or the other.
I would like to keep rolling for initiative but see alternating phases. That resolves both problems.
AoS abandoned by my gaming group. Would like to see more QoL improvments for the game!
