This day has been a long one for many BoB pilots. We started this morning at 07:00 to defend and recharge 2 friendly POS, this was completed without any opposition. This afternoon two D2 pos came out of reinforced, the first was destroyed with little resistance felt by 14:00, during this phase of the afternoon BoB held the numerical advantage and used it to its full effect.
Phase two of todays battle has, thus far, been the most tactical, with some heavy losses being inflicted on D2 forces. With the BoB fleet standing at approximately 130 pilots, including 2 motherships and a titan, against the D2 fleet standing at about 90 in system at any one time, including WOTANKN in his erebus, with a further force of 10 - 20 (the numbers varied over the course of the afternoon) D2 dreadnaughts ready to jump in at a moments notice. BoB intelligence and recon units had observed that the enemy dreadnaughts were fitted for close range combat, with pulse lasers, autocannons and blasters.
BoB command had no doubts, with a numerical advantage we were not going to back down... but with caution we laid plans to counter the enemy tactics. With calculated professionalism the BoB recon teams set about their task, creating warp-in and egress routes whilst command plotted the attack.
Task 1 - Stop the recharging of the shields. Task 2 - Remove the titan as a threat. Task 3 - Finish off the enemy pos.
Our initial warp in to stop the charging of the shields led to the destruction of a thanatos class carrier. Whilst charging the shields it would appear it held no tank and, when it ran to a nearby planet was hunted down and coldly dismantled by the BoB fleet. Whilst at the planet the D2 titan attempted a remote doomsday detonation, this was countered with the swift destruction of the D2 cyno, effectively removing the titan as a threat for a further hour.
The clock started, BoB command accelerated its plan...
Whilst our recon teams repositioned BoB forces chased down and destroyed a few wayward d2 pilots The hostile pos sat at approximately 45% shields, it was time to finish the job. As we engaged the carriers that had again tried to recharge the shields were forced to warp out and not much seemed to happen, there was no obvious reaction... and then the fleet warped away from the under-fire pos. With the pos entering armor the D2 fleet warped back on to us, choosing to engage LukeC in a moros class dreadnought. With the entire D2 fleet, including dreadnaughts, engaging the target we expected to lose at least one dread. We had accepted this before we started but we were determined to make them pay in kind for the loss.
LukeC survived the battle. He hovered on 50% armor almost the whole time. As we brought the BoB fleet in to the hostile pos rather than target battleships we went straight for their dreadnaughts. Two D2 capital ships eventually turned in to loot, one naglfar and one moros.
No BoB capital ships have died so far today. The battle will rage all weekend, you will find updates here as we get them.
So, D2, you've poked the hornets nest and it has just ripped your finger off, let's see how you fair for the rest of the weekend - two more of your pos are out of reinforced, for now, can you save them?

Not impressed considering you have basically given up the Southern Front and left LV to die. However, The battle report reads nicely so Kudos, and congrats to MC on the Mothership great example of good planning.

Not bad, you resisted longer than I thought but good to see you are back, I expect to see an avalanche of BoB posts following this trickle :)
Question: if CCP new about the Dev spawned BoB BPO's last summer why were they not removed last summer? |
