Yeah, that is the biggest disadvantage of TB compared to RTwP. Especially as a caster, you want to cast offensive spells, but you can't because you couldn't precast your defensive spells beforehand or the duration has expired, as you guys described.

I'm reminded of this every time I fight, for the first time with terrain advantage positioning, the harypies. One character is in combat, the others are not. The others run in and join the fight, but can't perform any actions. Annoying...

First round caster is not in combat... Secound round casters joins in by movement, but has no more action... Third round caster misses with his attack (and there is just one attack, without haste)... I had to learn early to always be in range to cast spells, if I doesn't want to waste a turn... So with bad luck by these TB mechanics you loose 3 turns... At least two...
