00:19
Three.
00:27
Yeah, Division Alpha 503.
00:29
It's all flat, grass, probably another couple acres.
00:32
We're going to need at least another three to four bump and rolls, or else we're going to keep repeating this, knock it down, go get water, knock it down.
00:42
Yeah, and I'd say units who are anyone who are out for water right now, this is Alpha.
00:49
Let's get at least two of you to head north to my location, the Axis Road up here.
00:54
and we can come from the north and try to take this direct.
01:03
For quite some time if we don't get some units over there.
01:07
Yeah, I think they're all in transit with water, filling up with water, and there's a couple moving out towards you right now.
01:14
All right, well, let's also work on staggering refills that seem to bite us on this one.
01:26

01:40
we're going to try and head north and catch it.
01:41
We're going to need at least two or three with us if we're actually going to knock it down and keep it down.
01:45
Otherwise we're just going to be dumping on it and then get to nowhere.
