For the record, all my comments about Gspy are just for fun, and not something I want in this game. Turn espionage off via options is my preference. Far from ragequitting if we decide the no-build-spy thing though.
I dunno about double moving, rules vs. hardcoding vs. allowing it. As I understand, allowing it means one can get utterly trashed by a surprising alpha strike (but still this is equal for all players) but a bigger problem is that people will manipulate the timer for in-game advantage, which will typically lead to much dead-time and dragged out days.
Hardcoding - if I'm last to log in one day, the turn flips when I end my turn. Then I can play a new turn, which is good for game flow. Assuming no conflicts possible here, say first 25 turns. Maybe I only had that window a particular day, so if I can't double move my units, 24 hours till I can play again will lead to drawn-out days. If it is hardcoded a 2-hour delay then I would normally be able to play, chill 2 hours and play again.
So to sum up, I think rules + no AW is what I prefer now.
