I don't quiet get this, does this mean for example, if I have say 3
Warlords titans and three Leman Russ detachments and my oppent has three
Phantom titans and three Falcon detachments and I win intaitive, that I
can order one of my Leman Russ detachments to move first, then order my
oppent to move a Falcon detachment and after this I have to move a Warlord
and then he moves a Phantom and so? Or is that I can order him to move
one of his titan first and then I have to move a titan and so on?

I vote for the -1, on the basis that snap firing will change the balance
of the game in favor of firing units, so giving a -1 to snap firing units
will even out the balance, giving charging units a chance to get into
hand to hand.

I wood like there to be two types of woods (dense and light) to roll on
the terrain chart, say a 2/3 chance of a wood being dense and 1/3 chance
of it being light.
