I guess the random range really is the deciding factor in most cases of random battle...if you're placed at 4-5 when fighting a guy (or girl) that has 5 rocket weapons you're kind of screwed from the start, but if you start right next to them, they're screwed either way

brilliant idea as well, to prevent certain cases of being given a thrashing out of lack of choice and variety.
