[ASLML] Assault Engineers - 8-3-8's

[keithdalton at verizon.net]

Hi Sam:

In answer to 1., there is no SSR but I have always played it as such, no matter what side I took.

In answer to 2, yes, if designated assualt engineers the smoke exponent is raised by 2, but I NRBH so I cannot quote the specifics.
