Ok..for double bubble..here we go!
Plenty of good stuff here to do - and plenty of opportunities to mess up...if you want another option - ask with reasoning and it can be added.

Spoiler
Leave the anchor alone. We are all-out blitzing for the gammon now, if we complete the blitz it won't matter that we still have it; if White hits us and the blitz runs out of steam we'll be glad we didn't give it up.
I'd rather not allow too many stray shots, and the 8 point is serving as a useful guard for now if White comes on with a 2, so I bring all my men into the attack with 13/3 13/8 10/5.

leave the runners where they are and bring the other 13 checkers into the zone. Wwe might need the anchor since we still have a blot on the two, but the real reason is to throw as much ammunition at the homeboard as we can.
13/3, 13/8, 10/5
They're pilin' in the backseat
they're generating steam heat
Pulsating to the backbeat
The blitzkrieg bop.
