Who you got #1

I'm assuming that the player with 16 checkers needs to bear all of them off to win, not just the usual 15. That makes it a slight disadvantage in a straight race, but the extra man in the army would seem to outweigh that.

And it would also seem to outweigh winning the opening roll. Unless the player gets to choose the opening roll, but I don't think that that is what's specified.

So, I'll go with more ammunition. Where does the extra checker go? Four on the 8 point looks best. Maybe slot one of the five points? Not part of the stated problem, but the obvious next question.
