Well, sort of - The ôMegaphoonionö (apparently)
So, I had the crazy idea of taking some smartbombing battleships and trying to kill a fleet with it. Essentially we ran in to JH with what appeared to be 18 sniper battleships. We sat above the gate, warping around various sniper positions, and waited for them to start forming up.
Meanwhile, as expected, BRUCE started to form up the gangs; with the layout of the systems in the area they control there is basically two clusters of systems, each of which have a high population. The two gangs made their way to two different gates within their systems ready to jump into JH.
Back in JH we stopped warping, and sat at one sniper position, aligned and ready. Within no time the spot is busted (kudos to BRUCE and their probing, you guys are insanely efficient), a dictor appears back on scanner and tries to land on us. The order is given to drop the "bad bubble" on our out gate, before we warp off to it.
WeÆd run a lot of numbers and setups with various things that could work if they followed. As expected local swells, jumping up to 106, who all quickly chase to the gate we've been seen to warp to. As we dropped out, it was time to see if it could indeed be done. The first of their support lands and is immediately blown apart from the first volley of the smartbombs; the dictor bubble pulling the gang chasing us and us very much together. More support keeps landing, and the lag gets bad - meanwhile also their second gang has warped in from another gate and has avoided being snared by the bubble and so is landing on the gate rather than on top of us.
I'm primaried, and my HP starts dropping fast with the second gang shooting me. Then thing start to explode; ships became wrecks, pods became corpses. The order to align out is given, and as I'm about to go down the gang warp is given. For a few moments nobody quite knew what had been killed, just that there had been a fair number of those glorious blue flashes. Once we were docked and the mails were all posted, we realised it had been a success:
96 kills / 1 loss including pods:
Killed: > 8 Elite Frigates > 1 Elite Destroyer > 46 Capsules > 5 Elite Cruisers > 11 Cruisers > 1 Destroyer > 1 Frigate > 11 Battlecruisers > 12 Battleships
Lost: > 1 Battleship
The outcome could have been better if both gangs had landed on us, though there was little we could do to stop that with what we had. It meant we didnÆt hold the field and get to see the wrecks û most mails were truncated, but a few did show a couple of items (including a domination warp disruptor)
It was the last night of the war, and a hell of a way to end it. ItÆs been fun BRUCE, IÆve no doubt weÆll see each other again some time.

P.S. Just like to say thanks to BRUCE, never had any smack from you guys, and you certainly bring the numbers when they're needed.

The not popping eachother is the tricky part.
I wish I took laz, but he was stuck in another system so I took my capital pilot alt to the fight instead :P

That is incredible. Did you guys even expect to do so well yourselves? lol
Would've loved to have been on BRUCE ts, probably ****ing themselves when they realised you were stuck in your own bubble

The tactic was brilliant, and our forums are buzzing with awe of how you pulled this one.
The lag was apparently pretty bad due to everything going down like popcorn, but that's CCP for ya and it wouldn't have changed a thing.
No grudges against you guys, I hope someone frapsed it (someone from BRUCE probably will have, fraps maniacs).
Gf and good luck to you MDK o7
