The Herd hit loose with 13/5*, now dorbel rolls a 6-2 as well:

Choice of three sixes and I think 8/2 isn't really an option. In cubeless games you have to keep pure and slotting the 2pt is the antithesis of pure. So, which bar? I think 24/18 is correct, losing fewer checkers in the race when hit than 13/7. Damage limitation is the name of the game here after a very poor roll, so I don't want a third blot bouncing around.
Bar/23, 24/18.
