Is there not a way this can be done in one roll? 

Checks his recollection: 
Comms is quality vs higher of leadership. Arty call 
is.....um...guesses at quality to exceed my leadership as the calling 
unit? Why not just treat the call as jammable under standard rules? 
(it really is a communications roll - to get in touch with the arty 
and explain what you need). Actually, I always thought the transfer 
actions option (being a comms roll) was jammable too. I don't see why 
an extra roll should be required. (I'm being dense here, but maybe 
someone will have a more cognizant exposition of why this can or 
cannot be done in one roll).
