Is there first turn advantage?

[game_taker]

P1 has an advantage by going first as he can spawn more units. At the start of every p2 move he is (theoretically) down one person, whereas as the start of all p1 moves, he has the same on of units (theoretically). However it depends on the map + skill level on the visibility of this advantage. I do recall Alvendor complaining about it a bit. I only see a difference in reaper (rarely in glitch and sharkfood, peekaboo is its own hell for other reasons).
