We did have two smokes reported by Saddleback on the Craigcroft Ridge. Are you seeing two separate smokes? About to call on another, but we have three total.

your attack cross alley copies. When I voice this out on the intercom, they're going to make me put it on our IA frequencies. That's going to get tricky. Okay, is that going to be for all big points?
