You said that p1 with 2 soldiers attacks and kills 1 of 2 p2 soldiers. P2 then has 8 wits and spawns a sniper and kills one of p1's soldiers.

In no map can p1 actually move across and attack/kill anything on the first turn.

You are absolutely right, this does not exist anywhere in the game. What I wanted to demonstrate was that, with all else being equal, attack vs. defense is a fairly balanced system (before the rule change). To do this, I manufactured a scenario that does not exist. However, my other point was that wits are better spent immediately simply because they will have a bigger impact on the game (that whole my wits divided by opponent's wits thing). If it takes a few extra turns for each side to attack/ defend, then it even more so proves that those extra wits are not that helpful.
