The one maybe slightly obvious - how about the 4? ;)

The obvious play is to hit and slot the back of the prime, but bringing down two gives many more shakes to extend the prime at the expense of only a few (2?) extra shots. So, 13/12* 13/9 for me.
I thought about doubling this, but the take seemed so obvious and I want to make the Herd sweat when it comes to take/pass decisions. Next roll please pause to see if I want to cube before rolling.
