How is the 1 card the worst card? On p. 54 of the Player Manual:

Participants act in order from lowest to highest number, beginning with card #1, until everyone has taken their turn.

So Player One, who drew the #1 card, goes first. The six OPFOR, who collectively drew the 2, go next. Then the remaining five PCs receive their turns.

Maybe my wording was unclear, or perhaps you were referring to one of the proffered house rules, where the high number goes first?
