In Response To: OLM Wed. Jan 17th. Play Decision - Vote 2nd (Stick)

We have 4 goals in this position. The primary goal is to make the four point. That would pretty much wrap things up. The second goal, failing the first is to attack Stick on the ace point. Failing either of these, we want to maintain outfield coverage. We also want to avoid leaving any losing shots. We can't accomplish any of the first three with this roll, but we can set ourselves up for next roll. Playing 15/6 maintains good outfield coverage and gives two builders for the four point. It also leaves three blots lying around. If Stick gets lucky and hits the first one, he may also pick up one or both of the others and gammon us. 13/7 8/5 also gives two builders for the four point. It leaves no shots and gives us three checkers aimed at the ace point. The lack of blots plus the extra checker aimed at the ace point make this the better play. 13/7 8/5.
