Typically stepping up to the edge is thematically correct in these situations (I think...). Is this an exception?

28/36 rolls cover White's 7-pt, completing a 5-prime. Of the eight misses, seven of them {43,53,54,55} make the 3-pt, and that's "on head" if White steps up. 44 doesn't do either but does make a fifth point of that potential full prime.

Meanwhile Blue can use the 3 die on the nearside to bring down a builder from the midpt. Blue is behind in the counter-priming contest but will have excellent builder distribution to add point #4 and be ready to make more. I've talked myself into breaking the rule:

25/24, 13/10.
