If anyone wants one that doesnt include moving from the 14, make your argument, and I will add the option.

Hi Diane!
My two cents on this position ( btw the very first time I have a look at such like this ):
UNSTACK the heavy mid-point and maximize contact, add builders and of course: two cross-overs. So my move would be: 13/8; 6/2

If we move from 14 we're cubed out. I doubt roderick's gammon chances increase enough to counter that. Following that Cigale's move is obvious.
