7 through 8 on turn 3. Okay. I'm able to switch over to attack 7 by chance. Yeah, give me a second. Just to hit your head to those lightning strikes to get on the end of 76 to 72 searching the area. Copy. Do you mind if I go in direct with them? Yeah, you can hit them on current 3 direct.

And just 72, 2-8 on 3-direction. 72. We're coming up sawmill, probably be in the waggy area here pretty quick. I just forget any units coming down sawmill. I wanted to coordinate that. Yeah, negative 76 is headed up Old State and 72 came up Evans. 72 is going to the RP right now. They're down in the Kalerangis area.

I'm with 76 as equipment. We've got a pretty good vantage point. We don't see anything from up here. I think the best bet would be for 72 to make contact with the RP and see if we can get a better location. Yeah, copy that. Look and try to find out in the area of the latest few strikes if I can see anything off of Evans. Looks like some pretty good precipitation came through here. Everything's wet.
