Gaining a bonus turn is defined as gaining 100% TM according to you. So, when B2, JKA, Biggs etc. gain 100% TM through their abilities, why is a different wording used? Why doesn't their description say that they gain a bonus turn? It's inconsistent. Similar behaviour should be described with similar wording. Using a different wording suggests a different behaviour.

I'm not saying, that Han behaves wrong. I'm saying, he doesn't behave as described.

On a side note:
You never answered my question about GMY. When he takes an immediate bonus turn, does he simply immediately gain 100% TM? Or is he guaranteed to always perform the next action even if another toon also has 100% TM? I'm curious.

I see nothing in his description that says he should go before someone else that is at 100% TM at the start of the encounter. But we can agree to disagree and maybe they will chnage this to be more clear.

1- Its a BONUS turn that is irrespective of even his own turn meter according to the wording, the term "turn meter" is not even present in the description whatsoever.

2- Said bonus turn is to take place at the start of the encounter.... Once another toon takes a turn it is, by definition, no longer the start of the encounter.....

If the intention was for him to get 100% turn meter at the start, then they should have written it that way.... Something along the lines of "At the start of the encounter, Han gains 100% turn meter, ignores taunt and his first shot inflicts a one turn stun that can't be resisted"

It's not called "shoots first" for nothing.... I think you are likely correct in regards to this being part of the typically skewed event mechanics....

1- please show me him taking his turn without 100% TM. Also acceptable, any one in any game mode taking a turn without 100% TM. It doesnt exist, because a turn is initiated by 100% TM, regardless of the situation.

2- there are many actions that happen "at the start of an encounter", why should Hans override any others?

If the intention was for him to take the first action or use his alibi before anyone else they should have and could have worded it that way. But they didnt. If they have that intention they should reword it to state that intention, much like how they reworded GMY, and made Thrawns actions match his specific description.

The title is not the description nor is it used in the description. If it was, he may still not shoot first in a han v han team. ( FYI, the universe will implode, trying to figure out which Han shot first.)
