Deetes if this report pans out AQ has lost another MAJOR asset.....this was one very important asset. Names are a tad confusing in this group....but if this is the gentleman in question......the good guys just took out a most sought after prize.

According to Stratego, there is 1 #1, 1 #2, 2 #3’s, and I’m not sure how many number 4’s, 5’s, 6’s, 7’s, 8’s, and 9’s(scouts). There is one spy. Haven’t seen a report that we’ve got him
