Poll
Get the runner going with 24/21. Then it's a question of whether to play it safe with 8/6 or to unstack the bloated midpoint with 13/11. At a score where gammons mattered I might be hesitant to leave a blot on the 11, but gammon losses are almost meaningless for us, and there are only 6 shots. I'll unstack.
24/21 13/11

After more than a day, fewer votes have been cast than usual. There's only one vote between the two favoured candidate moves so I'll leave this poll open for a while longer. Roll up, folks, more votes welcome!
