Move?

Hmmm.... I could bring two more checkers into the zone and prepare to blitz, or I could just quietly make the three point. Being stuck behind a 5 prime makes me a bit reluctant to blitz - I could get too far out ahead and crunch while still stuck - this isn't to say that I wont POH if I get the chance, it's just that the blitz can fail even when it works so it's not worth the extra risk to position myself to blitz.
I'll make the three - that's one less point for the Herd to anchor on and it blocks 61 to escape.
9/3 5/3.
