Question about the +1 after deployment to see who goes first.

Deployment roll to see who chooses sides - player who wins chooses side and drops a unit.

Player 1 wins.
Player 1 chooses table side
Player 1 places unit.
Player 2 places unit.

Player 1 places unit.
Player 2 places unit.

Player 1 places unit.
Player 2 places unit.

Player 1 places characters.
Player 2 places characters.

In this situation both players took the exact number of turns to place units and characters, who gets +1.
The point of the game is to have fun every time not win every time.

player 1 finished first, as far as I know its who finished first, not who took fewer turns.

My conclusion is that it took the exact same amount of time/turns to place all units so it should be a straight roll off no mod.

The rules do not say to count turns to determine who finished first.  They tell you whomever finishes deploying first gets +1.  Also note the old rule regarding scouts is gone so if you deploy scouts and your opponent did not, even if you finished first otherwise, you don't get the +1 to go first.

Player 1 gets the +1, since he finished first.  It has nothing to do with the amount of time/turns.  That is the bonus you get for rolling higher and getting to set up a unit first.

The issue Phil brings up is news to me though.  Gonna have to go research that one...
