Gammons are a huge boon for blue. POH on the four point for sure.
Then the choice is either send a second checker back, bring one down while slotting the bar point, bring two down, or escape the back checkers.
The rule of thumb for blitzing is something like In a blitz, the priority is usually point > hit > build > escape. So we can dismiss the last option. The rule also says hitting is usually superior to building, so I'll go with that.
Yes, it buries checkers and abandons our five point, but it gives us two on the roof against a three point board with ten in the zone while holding an advanced anchor. That seems like a strong blitz. 27 shakes leave white with a checker still on the bar and blue should be able to bring more ammunition to bear or hit loose while white is trying to enter.
With a gammon price of .9 I'm going for it. 8/4*(2) 5/1*(2)
