In general i think this war has alot of promise yet to come.
I personally think that ASCN are doing well, but at a horrid cost, and they are making many mistakes.
Their desire or foolishness in engaging BOB in continual fleetfights is a poor idea. Being that fleet fighting is one of BOB's well sharpened abilities I do not understand why they choose to swing a wooden sword against a steel one. Now that they have broken many of their wooden swords, they seem to have smartened up a good bit.
Many if not the greater portions of ASCN losses that i can see on their Killboards are not from fleet fights but random ganking throughout their space. While wolf packs/gank squads etc. have ever been easy to deal with/eliminate, the tools ARE there to remove and minimize the losses they will inflict. My real wonder on this being how long will it take.
The real interesting aspect of this war is how is it going to play out once the massive POS warfare game comes into play. If i were in ASCN's position I would be hiring people from RA or Coalition to advise me on the way in which to handle POS affairs, since no war over the last year has been as POS heavy as RA and the Coalitions trench war.
When it comes to KB effeciency, since the now posted Titan KM cannot be removed, I support Ascn's counter by posting a BOB one. it does screw with the acutal number or percentage but it in all cases is something i believe to be only fair.
I think many people expected BOB to roll into ASCN space, much like ascn did to Tribal souls and have half of Paragon Soul contested within a week. The full of it contested within two weeks and the war for PS to be over within a month.
there are many possibilities to how this will play out, but at this time i would have to call it, as i think is well paraphrased on the ASCN forums as a stalemate. While BOB are destroying ASCN with uncanny skill, they have yet to move into ascn territory save a lone POS. Most of this war is being fought in BOB space and until it moves into paragon soul i will believe that the pendulum is swinging in tandem.

post to big to quote but its only like 6 posts up
From the top, and I apologize for not responding earlier since EVE-0 was down in my province all day apparently and this is the second time i have had to type this out now since eve ate this post the first time.
I run under that assumption that territorial gain was the goal because that is the assumption i was left with after sirmolle's 2 opening posts. It is quite possible that your strategic timeline is much mroe fluid and prolonged than i think, but especially because of the one week timeline Molle gave i was led to that conclusion. I can fully accept that that may be true, im just gonig on the assumptions what i have read so far have led me to believe.
I dont think that i actually said BOB morale was going down as you claimed i did, as personally i think it is the opposite and that ascn is doing everything it can to keep propping up themselves.
I terms of TCAG/TPAR (funny that the names would be so similar) if your goals are NOT what i assume, which although not 100% convinced on yet, am fully willing to belive they may not be, then all ascn is doing at the moment is further facilitation what i would consider to be an excellent strategy by BOB of wearing down enemy resources, and hurting enemy morale.
I will 100% agree with you on several parts of the McCreedy points. I belive the rotation is horrible idea, being as it stands it will only alienate the corps fighting at one time from those fighting at another time. "Why didn't you score as many kills as us when you were on rotation?"
I will also agree with ASCN's FC problems. the fact of the matter being that a HC down system doesn't allow for proper player to leader input, and to be honest none of the plans used by ascn so far have been any good or taken and course of action that actually plays to their strengths and BOB's weaknesses.
the hostility shown to anyone willing to speak up and contradict those plans is in truth one of the big limiters of creativity.
If Ascn is going to continue to fight and fight well at some point certain HC policies or their whole HC system is going to need to be revamped. Although a single figurehead such as cyvok does not seem a problem. Its the people directly under him that do.
Edit : and cupz..... get a life. dont criticize people for reading ALL the information before making a post. its 90% of the problem on these forums.

when i made the comment that ascn was doing well it was only in the context of what BOB is not doing. And that is in context of territorial ambition. They have held BOB to BOB space. I AM NOT SAYING that this is 100% their doing, I am merely saying, in terms of "defending the Shire" they are succeeding. Albeit quite possibly only because BOB chooses to not make any move towards it so far.
Very nice post Rebellious
edit: just reading ascn's forums. Very nice post by James. then mcCreedy comes in and calls him a traitor for giving good advice. I just thought that that was incredibly funny.

I only want to know how both sides are doing ?
Pretty much what you'd expect
- BoB hasn't captured any outposts
- ASCN hasn't captured any outposts
- BoB pvp's better than ASCN
tbh thats like the best summary of the war in like 3 weeks
