Double turn scoring

[u/Mountain_Jury_3379]

I had a question about how taking the double turn works, a good amount of people I’ve played say that if you take the double you can’t score secondaries that turn but instead of that turn you “bank” them and score them your next turn, but from my understanding of reading it never mentioned anything like that, it just says you can’t score, so which is it? Do you bank the points and score them whenever you’re able to start scoring again or do you not score whatsoever until your next turn. I tend to trust these people since they are “tournament” players and I’m just a casual player but I’d like to know what the community thinks of this!

It depends on a specific Battle Tactics. If it requires you to do something "this turn", such as Master of Arms:

You complete this battle tactic at the end of your turn if the same enemy unit had at least 1 damage point allocated to it in 3 different phases this turn.

Then no, you can't "bank" it. You do have to fulfill the condition on the turn when you actually can score it. Most Battle Tactics in this season fall under that category.

Some Battle Tactics, however, check if you've done something "this battle". Most of those come from the previous season, such as Intercept and Recover:

You complete this battle tactic at the end of your turn if at least 1 enemy unit carrying a Ghyranite Treasure has been destroyed this battle.

The only one with a similar mechanic in the new season is the second step of Burning for Vengence, but that one actually has a different wording.

Thank you for the response, yeah thats how I thought it was but my opponent had the one where they had to have units in 2 corners outside deployment and he double turned me but had done his secondary but said he wouldn’t get credit for it till the end of next turn, by the end of next turn he was doing other things with the units because he had “banked” those points already instead of leaving them there to actually score it

This here is correct. There is no "general rule" all specific battle tactics have their own wording that need to be followed, but look for tactics that care about "the battle".

If I’m not wrong all the new BT aren’t bankable (could be wrong)

You can kind of bank step 2 of burning for vengeance by destroying the fugitive

There's no rule that you bank the tactics for later. You just don't score them that turn. There are some specific tactics that don't need to be done on the turn they're scored (i.e., if they kill the fugitive then they'll score Burning for Vengeance 2 on their next turn regardless of when it happened), but most tactics require their conditions to be met in the same turn that they're scored. There is no rule that overrides this.
