Regarding player 2 advantage, stats align well in all ranges and confirm what was shown by the stats of the past: Player 2 has a small advantage, winning 52-52.8% of games.
The current order used in the game is "Player 1 -> Computer 1 -> Player 2 -> Computer 2 -> Computer 1 deploys troops -> Computer 2 deploys troops". So after Player 1 takes an action for "Computer 2 to deploy troops", Player 2 has an opportunity to do something to counter this action.
If the order was changed to "Player 1 -> Computer 1 -> Computer 2 deploys troops -> Player 2 -> Computer 2 -> Computer 1 deploys troops", this would avoid Player 2 getting a chance to counter this action.
