Wrong, I only used intel reports for numbers assessments. My report wasn't posted in this thread, the following is it:
So, today was fun.
IT reinforced a bunch of posses in syndicate, thankfully all were timed well enough to come out in US TZ. Here's a list:
21.11.2009 03:10 PL - D5IW-F
21.11.2009 03:15 Cry Havoc - IIRH-G
21.11.2009 03:55 PL - D5IW-F
21.11.2009 04:29 Cry Havoc - 3-INOV
21.11.2009 04:34 SOT - 0T-AMZ
21.11.2009 05:45 Cry Havoc - F67E-Q
The night started in IIRH. Cry Havoc had an r64 there, it came out slightly after the PL tower in D5I. About 300 IT came, nuked it and stuck around while a second PL tower came out. Both PL towers were saved without incident.
IT then moved to 3-I to kill another CH tower. At this point CH had about 50 (BS/support) in fleet, PL+SoT had ~150 (BS/support, 30 capitals, between 5 and 10 titans) and IT had somewhere around 300 (roughly 200 BS/support, 100 capitals). IT bridge into 3-I, we notice they're not aligned to anything specific, time to DD.
We light two cynos, titans straight on top of the hostiles and BS at the closest planet. DD snags a few, one of our titans gets tackled, BS come back in. Our BS come back in, everyone at this point is bubbled, including our titan. Another cyno up, IT capitals start arriving.

Fourth cyno goes up, three more PL titans come through and DD the grid. All hostile and friendly support is now gone. All titans warp out. After a few minutes of dumb****ery (mostly because we killed all of the cynos in our fleet) we manage to get another cyno in system and on top of the hostile dreads. It goes up, PL + Goon capitals jump in. I'd guess we were pretty heavily outnumbered at this point.

Capfight goes on for a while, CH jump in for us as well as the PL support fleet who had all reshipped to dreads. IT pilots return in new dreads, and carriers for those who didn't have a spare. PL pilots continue to return in new dreads as theirs die. Towards the end of the fight the NC made a showing with a few capitals as well. IT ends the fight by calling a logout, by that time both sides were out of stront anyway and goons probably would have done the same thing if roles were reversed.

As for losses, well, I won't go too much into it.
PL API shows 23 losses currently, I doubt it will go over 25, also shows somewhere around 80 kills right now, I'm quite sure that'll keep rising.
Edit: CH is losing a capfleet to IT right now.

Also, you (IT in general) keep referring to a DD where we killed our entire support fleet. I'm not sure why you think this is a huge deal. It was a tactical decision to sacrifice several of our BS and not only kill your entire BS fleet (which it did to a large degree) but get our dread mains who were stuck in BS back to our staging system once we saw your caps come in. I have no idea why you guys brought capitals in when you had one of our titans tackled, it had to be obvious that we had several supporting it and that you wouldn't be able to keep tackle.
In the end, we traded ~70 dreads, 4 carriers and 3 r64s (which we don't consider to be nearly as worthwhile as you do, I won't speculate on the supposed payout of these moons as we really don't know their worth yet) for ~120 capitals. We're happy with the trade, you seem happy with the trade.
Only took 8 pages to get a post on actual events. Thank you david for shedding the light for those who could not make it.. +1 for content
