It did get me thinking about size ratios though. I built a little spreadsheet in Google docs to calculate the chances of getting a full field on your first turn because of it. Took like 5 mins, spreadsheets are great for math with lots of variables. For those curious:

For 15 / 9 / 3

Chance of opening with at least 3 size 1s (after the charge): 35%

Chance of opening with at least 1 size 1 and 1 size 2: 72%

Chance of opening with at least 1 size 3: 37%

Total chance of a full field on turn 1: 89%

For 16 / 9 / 0

Chance of opening with at least 3 size 1s: 40%

Chance of opening with at least 1 size 1 and 1 size 2: 73%

Total chance of a full field on turn 1: 84%

It's funny, I never noticed how valuable size 3s are to field conistency. They give a full field, just by playing them. I think I'll fiddle around with this a bit more, and try to figure out the best ratios.
