I have the answer (I assume) but didn’t want to go through the complications of Crosshare. This was a fun one to figure out, and once having figured it out, to continue to fill!

Yeah - I had the answer. It was actually the third nudge that helped with Crosshare. Just now went through the Crosshare step to submit it.. .and that was worth it for what I saw after completing the grid! 
Excellent, excellent puzzle!
