To have scimitar called as first reinforcement it would basically have to be the only reinforcement. Haven't seen that, but I don't think it would prevent you from winning.
Not to mention almost every battle (couple exception) I have done opponent doesn't call a reinforcement on its 2nd turn, it is not typically till it's 3rd which by that time you will have a speed advantage and over take them in turns.
When Scimitar is the only reinforcement and you go second, you can't catch up with your opponent
Posting the same comment twice isn’t helpful.
Enemy capital ships almost always use Sabotage hangars before calling in a reinforcement. So even if they get first move AND only have Scimitar as reinforcement, you will still (almost) always get to call in Scimitar before they do, get the speed boost and win.
Wrong. Opponent will not call reinforcement till 3rd turn if you play it right, so it won't matter.
