I watched the entire fight, from beginning to end and here is what I saw. I don't remember exact times, but those are irrelevant.
A Goon POS was coming out of reinforced. The tower had about 20+ guns, ranging from large to small guns, with almost all of them online. There were also some other modules such as energy neuts and warp scramblers as well. Goons had approximately 110 people in local, most at the POS. They started with 8 dreads, about 16 carriers and 1 mothership. They had about 70-80 support with about 40 or so battleships. If I am slightly wrong on those numbers, sorry.
About 3 minutes before the POS came out of reinforced, BOB cynoed in their cap fleet to one of their POS in system. From my count, they had about 25 dreads, 2 motherships (to start) and if I remember correctly, about 10-15 carriers. About 5 min after that, the BOB support fleet jumped into the system and warped directly to the POS. The BOB support fleet numbered in the 40-50 range at the start with about 2/3 of those being battleships. The BOB cap fleet also warped to the POS at the same time. As soon as the BOB cap fleet arrived, the dreads entered siege and the capital fight began. The goon support fleet focused (from my perspective) on the BOB support fleet with the help of the POS gunners. After a few minutes, it seemed as though Goons had the upperhand, because the BOB support fleet were warping out or dying. The capital fight started out pretty even. Goons lost a couple of dreads and a carrier or 2 and BOB lost a couple of dreads. However, once the goons started to move their carriers in and out of the POS shield to try and protect them, the momentum switched to BOB. The goon capitals could be remote repped consistently enough to keep themselves alive. And they started dropping one by one.
While this was going on, more BOB capitals and support began to trickle into the system. By the time the capital fight was close to finishing, I counted 4 BOB motherships on the field and still the 1 goon mothership (Wyvern). The goon mothership decided to leave the shield, and was immediately engaged by the BOB capital fleet and barely made it back into the shield by other reports. Before the fight ended, I believe the goon mothership cynoed out of the system.
Eventually, all goon capitals died that were still outside the POS shield. The goon support fleet continued to shoot at the BOB capitals and I believe (I could be wrong) but only took down maybe 1 more BOB capital. The fighter swarm from BOB then began to take out the Goon support fleet and the BOB dreads focused on the tower. Once the tower was destroyed, the Goon support fleet either warped out or died to the BOB fighters at the POS. At that point, BOB had complete control of the battlefield and cleaned up the wrecks. A few skirmishes took place at the station, but I don't have any details about those engagements.
This battle report is what I saw and witnessed. Like I said, I don't know exact numbers. You can see the killboards of both sides to see total numbers lost.
