Then I can either slot the four point, stack up the 6 point, or bring down a builder. I'll choose the latter - slotting seems a bit risky and there's a lack of men in the vicinity to cover. Re-stacking is just ugly.The other play to consider is making the four point now - 7/4 6/4. The structural difference between a four prime and a 654 inner board is probably about even. Making the anchor tips it towards keeping the prime.24/22 13/10PS - if the Herd fails to anchor, please ask me if I want to double before rolling.

The only reasonable alternative to 13/10 is 8/5. It's too late to change, but FWIW I still think 13/10 is correct.
