On the flipside, I completely agree with Kingsley that going second is preferable. In almost every mission going 2nd is better and if you don't realize that, you really must not be playing the same game as I.

I usually prefer to go second because I feel I can do much better being reactionary to my opponent's army and his opening movements, focusing my troops and fire where it can do the most damage early on. Not to mention I like being able to start my army with as much cover as possible and basically stealing a turn from my opponent where on the most part all he can do is maneuver.

Not to mention on objective missions, it gives you the opportunity to deny the opponent scoring opportunities on the last turn and they are unable to counter.
