Originally by: Malaphar Actually , the thread starter is somehow right in what he/she says...only they way he/she expresses it is wrong.
SmashKill and Allies had all what was needed to win this war since the very beginning of it : we had the people/numbers (SmashKill+Atlas+FIX+-V- = almost 4.500 people versus about 5.000 Goons spread all over EVE) ; we had the Capitals (150 at any given time when needed , maybe more...which is far better than ANY Fleet Goons would have brought) ; we had the Skills (75%-80% of our Fleet members were T2-able , compared to the T1 Goon blob) ; we had the Titans same as Goons (actually Goons were 1 Titan short , , and we already talked about that for many pages here) ; we had the logistics already in place (a fantastic Jump Bridges system and extremely easy to reach ANY spot in Geminate/Kalevala Expanse) plus we had another key factor on our side : WE WERE FIGHTING FOR OUR HOMES!
IMHO our strategy for this war was flawed! Also IMHO , immediately after we killed the Goons Titan in R-6 , we should have withdrawn ASAP in our home regions with all those Capitals we bashed the ED/IRC with.Reason for this withdrawal would have been that , after losing a Titan to us , we all knew what would have been Goon's next step! Our next step should have been FDZ and M-M : 23/7 camping of FDZ Station and ALL inbound routes to FDZ! FDZ is a NPC station , a perfect place for ANY invader who seeks Geminate to setup a base of operations! All those camps would have forbidden Goons to organize their offensive. If we would have done that , there wouldn't have been ANY BWF situation or 8MG or BND , etc, etc.
If, by any God given chance , Goons would still have been able to organize in FDZ , then with all those Caps we had in Etherium Reach and Oasa , we would have closed down BWF of ANY system on the spot!
When Goons invaded BWF , we had our LAST CHANCE to push them back by locking down the system with our Cap fleet+Support! Unfortunately , our leaders didn't see that opportunity , or maybe they saw it but didn't know how to react to it , or I don't know!
A series of strategical mistakes led us to our current situation...a most unfortunate one , but....that's life , especially in EvE!

We shall keep fighting , any way we can , and when the final moment comes we shall die with honor and with our guns in our hands!
Yours truly ,
Yes
