Well it used to be small mines were better since you could put more out there for the same resources and it was more efficient. However, with the size of the mine field being limited to 100 mines now I am not sure that is true anymore.

Related question. Do larger mines get swept first or is it random? Though bing that you could mix them, hoping to flood the minsweeper and still have some big ones to hurt people with.


Good question. Not sure. Will have to run some simulations and see if I can figure it out.
