Raid han not getting first turn in TW
In war, went up against a squad of palp vader thrawn tarkin shore. Tarkin went before han got his pre shot. Am I missing something? Sure there is tm from previous battle, however han is supposed to get his stun off BEFORE any other turns. Just completely screwed the battle. Clearly WAI, like everything else.

What are the circumstances where Tarkin would also start with 100% TM in that squad? I don't see how that would happen.

Quite simple actually. Zeta Palpatine lead gives 5% TM for each debuff that expires. If, for example, many debuffs expire at one time, the entire team could be put at 100%. If Vader uses culling blade and finishes the last member of the original attacking team, the debuffs expelled could be enough to raise the entire team to 100%.
You were not the first one to attack that team. Someone left him with full TM.

This statement is not true. His skill gives him 100% TM. RNG takes over for who goes first when 2 toons have 100% TM
According to the description of the ability, Han should take his bonus turn at the start of the encounter. If another toon goes first (in this case Tarkin) it's no longer the start of the encounter. The description doesn't state, that Han simply starts the encounter with full TM. It says, that he takes a turn. Having RNG decide which of two opposing Hans shoot first is ok. Having any other toons take their turn first conflicts with the description of the ability.
Sometimes shoots first
Or
Now & then shoots first
Or
Might shoot first
Or
Could possibly shoot first
Or
100% TM but subject to RNG
Or
/shrug, we have no idea
Yes, we know how the mechanics work, but that's a completely different topic. The actual mechanics don't correspond to the description of the ability.
that depends on how you define "at the start of each encounter".
It doesn't say he takes his turn first. He gets a "bonus turn" at the start. A turn in this game is taken at 100% TM. He is given 100% TM at the start of the encounter, that is working as described. What happens from then on is the normal mechanisms of the game.
