ROLLOUT: Anchor, run, blitz, or something else?

At 5a 5a, gammons are more valuable than usual, so bringing an 11th checker into the zone is tempting. And while there's no compelling reason to anchor here, moving the runner up is the obvious follow on to 13/7. Hence my play of 24/21 13/7.

But there's no real hurry to bring more into the zone, and the aphorism "do what's hard first" seems to apply, so simply Pottling is the bot choice by a substantial margin.

I haven't rolled out other scores, but it looks like score doesn't matter. 24/15 is the clear DMP play and other plays don't win (or lose) very many more gammons.
