The title was suggested by my corpm8 Robinton and I thought it was a good one.
So I stole it. However it only refers to the 2nd part of this report.
This was a good weeekend imo for our Alliance as we got to kill some of our wartargets.
This first part is the battle report come from my Alliance m8 amBOEShed. I was not there to participate in it.
Yesterday (September 2nd 2011) we claimed our first 3 kills in this war. Not big ones but enough to watch them smack tears in local. It all started when Black Mystic in his vigil was harrassing local. He came across Lady Six. Putting his charms in motion but i (my alt) was not impressed. 2 friends of him came aswell to our island. Commander Sertan was 2 full of smack that we only sat at stations and not burn to them to engage. Well if we did they just warped off, so whats the point. But then he suddenly came towards the station in his Federation navy comet, bumped my zealot. I waited for him to agress so docking wasn't an option for him. He did. While he tried to burn away, i unleashed the zealots power by forcing all energy into the weaponssystems. As distance grew so down went his armor. He came into the optimal range and went boom. Handy that warp was disabled for 24km. Moments later Garhan finally speeded up towards the vigil and destroyed it just before Dreadlock Holiday in his thrasher could save him. He managed to get out. Suddenly local was empty, their smacking was gone and victory ruled in our chat.
Later in the evening a new group of wartargets came towards the island. Ivy league managed to trap 1 dramiel while the 2nd came to the island. Though 2 fast for our locking systems we tried to get him anyways. Then scouts reported a cynabal, nemesis and a helios were incoming. Alot of gate/system moving went on after this cause Bladeburner wanted that cynabal on our killboard. Though their scout in a cloaked loki did his job, spying on our fleet for the cynabal, they logged to fight another day. Sad we were not able to catch that cynabal so Blade had to take granted with the helios he killed just before.
Along came Saturday (September 3rd 2011). I log on to eve to find a Home Defense Fleet up and running and just about to start their roam around our home systems.
I first get into my Broadsword to join them, then the call goes out that an Alliance POS is under attack and we are to reship into BS. Intel reports state that we will be facing 5 x Geddon, 2 x Abaddon, Geddon Navy Issue, Domi, Velator amongst other
So back home and to reship into my Tempest.
At the same time we are getting reports of a fleet inbound to the island.
We prepare to meet them, however they never show themselves in force. Apparently they were sent as a distraction which worked to some degree. As we are beeing delayed for the 12 jump trip to Aldrat.
In the end our FC decide to go for a suicide fleet in battlecruisers.
I reship once again this time into my Cyclone and we make our way to Aldrat with the following ships: Megathron, Drake, Drake, Myrm, Cyclone, Stabber, Claymore, Incursus and 3 x Scimis.
The trip to Aldrat was uneventful.
Our Scout jumps into Aldrat and tells us that the gate is clear and proceeds to warp to the POS. Once at the POS he realizes something is wrong, because it's not under attack anymore. But we have allready jumped into System and get a nice surprise to see our overviews flashing red. The fight is on.
FC calls primaries and we start firing on the Navy Geddon which we almost took down, but apparently we did not have a point on him and he warps of in structure, next we target a Blackbird and take it down. Next we go for a cane and last but not least we get a Scorpion aswell. We could have taken down a couple more ships but they kept either jumping the gate or warping away to return with full shields again. (probably docking and undocking to replenish)
I have to thank our Logis who did an amazing job at keeping us alive. We "only" lost the Megathron, a Myrmidon, 2 Drakes (here & here), my Cyclone and a Claymore. Now please take a look at the Cyclone kill and check out how much damage I took before I went down. The logis managed to stay alive to save our asses for the next fleet.
We got many gf in local after that engagement.
To any involved parties, if I forgot something in my report, pls let me know. I will update it.
Over & Out
