Brief battle summary.

TCF formup sent to all alliance members in the afternoon.
Fleet gets together ; around 45 Battleships, 4 dictors and support.
Final TCF fleet number is around 90 at this point, heading to e02.

Intel is given : 60 people in E02. No intel yet on M-M system.
There's also intel on a BOB roaming gang (HAS / Commands) ; around 20 i think.

Advanced scout jumps in M-M and reports for heavy fleet formed up already on E02 gate ; waiting for us.
Scout survives and gives us intel on gang (25BS already on gate and support ; about 80 pple on gate) as part of our fleet is in N-K (system before EO2) .
BOB gang is also with the hostile fleet.

Scout indicates BOB gang warps out and goes away ...
Hostile gang begins to jump in E02 from M-M order is given for our fleet to jump in E02 (around 45 pple at this point). Rest of the fleet is coming in.

We're first on grid when hostile fleet (people from M-M joined with people in station of E02 gets at close range (20-30kms) from the gate.
Our gang is in snipe configuration but the traditionnal tactics from V Church and guys living there (BS close range and remote) doesn't work as they weren't able to setup their remoting drones / targeting and are at first lost in grid loading.

First targets are called for Battleships and their support is mostly quickly dispatched.
Ennemy Battleships begin to fall as a first hostile cyno gets opened at close range of the gate. 1, 2 hostile carriers get in as more ennemy battleships get popped.

TCF Gang losts are minimal for now but adversaries who lost a ship are quickly to return on the battlefield in their next heaviest ship as E02 is their mother systems.
Not only that but we now have something like 12 hostile Carriers and a phoenix (if I remember correctly) on the gate.

Red Alliance Fleet Jump Bridges in at snipe range (numbers unknown sorry).

At this point, only 5 ennemy BS are still in the grid and 5 to 10 supports (mostly tech 1 / cruiser (kudos the blackbirds but Dooh for caracals) and BC).

Last ennemy batteships are remoted pretty strongly by capital fleet and it's time to bring the big boys : Cyno is soon up for TCF carriers and RA carriers and MS.

Dictors were told to bubble it all a few minutes before as the ennemy fleet was pinned down and reinforcements, though pretty heavy at the beginning from ennemy base, are now marginal.

From now on, Dictors keep bubbling (spent 22 bubbles on the carriers the whole fight !) and Ennemy caps get pounded heavily, despite trying remoting at their best.

Two carriers go down, a last BS shooting session, Carriers finally get popped one by one despite a few (understandable) trys to get out of this mess.

Final gang members after looting it all was 101.

Thanks for bringing it guys ; Kudos to RA for their continuous support during all this fight and more.
A bit disappointed by the fact Bob gang prefered not joining their allies on this one (personnal opinion only).

Score is settled and I'm too tired to bring up the maths on this one :)

When you have fought for years killing anything that appears on your overview and then forcing yourself to ignore what you have always done, in a fight, with allies and there allies. Recipe for mess. Have never tried nrds but i struggle even in empire sometimes seeing neutrals

Right-Click top of overview > Open Overview Settings > Select the Filters Tab > Select States Tab > Untick the box "Pilot is in your Fleet"

Your welcome.
