I don't like hitting without a better board/more builders. Getting hit back loses a bunch of pips; not getting hit back leaves a checker on the 1. The most developing move on our side looks to be 11/4 - not exciting. I would run, and then try to harass white's back checker.

I think it is too early to be thinking about setting up a back game. If our runner gets hit - maybe.

Plays involving the back checker just look...wrong...to me. You're already down 25 after the roll so you're not looking to make a race, and the partway up play keeps you under the gun of 3 attackers. Having said that, there's not a whole lot to do on the offensive side with this roll. I guess I'll just wait with 13/6 and see what things look like next turn.
