That shouldn't be the case... P2 starts with 3 wits more than P1 but remember that, as P1, you always have the option of passing on your first turn. So in a small map, you could make just one move (to secure the bonus spot), and effectively start the next turn with 10 wit with the bonus spot already taken. That's a 3 wit advantage over P2's 8 wit starting point.

The fact that most players will choose to use their 5 wit in the first turn suggests that there's a positioning or unit advantage to be gained.
