Nice call on Chuck's part to anticipate the upcoming consultation. If folks want to start posting their arguments now, that's okay by me.
I think 21/18(3) 6/3 is best. This is a mutual holding game in which the race is close. Volunteering a shot in such a position is usually wrong–way wrong!–when any credible alternative exists.
Advancing the anchor is clear. Leaving a blot behind would gratuitously volunteer a couple of jokers. I begin, therefore, by playing 21/18(3). After that, 6/3 is the only reasonable play that does not leave shots. As I said in my vote, the Dillies are unlikely to volunteer a shot themselves. If they do, however, we need only hit when it is to our advantage.
Mike
