Forward how?

After playing the roll, you will have a 4 point board with at least 10 in the zone, but more likely 11. So the attack is strong. Blue is also ahead in the race, which argues for moving the back checkers up.

White has an offense, so will pose a danger one the position stabilizes with an anchor, or if both checkers are in with a hit. The White offense will be stronger if Blue is still on the 22.

The DMP play would be 22/18(2) 6/2 13/9, but with gammons counting, 13/1* 6/2. 11 checkers in the zone, 4-point board, 2 in the air, 5th point slotted with many covers (6s and 12s): by attacking we delay White's counterplay and give us time to move up and out, possibly while picking up the loose blot, also after being hit somewhere along the line. This loses a bit more games, but wins a lot more gammons.
