Alliance Tourney Round II

We fielded a pretty speedy DPS heavy setup against another DPS heavy setup from Ushra'khan.

No problems there from a strategy perspective. Both sides needed to get enough points to make it to the finals and you only have to kill a few ships to not be on the bubble.

Unfortunately, they had a little bit better tactical plan than we ended up with.

They fielded a guardian with 2 1600mm plates that was heavily bait fit. As a result, we spent a fair couple of minutes trying to pop their guardian while they were systematically destroying our DPS.

In the end, we killed their guardian and a harbinger good for 25 points and a total of 150 on the two fights.

Having totalled it all up, there are currently 23 teams that we're ahead of and will definitely advance before. There are 9 that are ahead of us.

We need a few of tomorrow's fights to either end in stalemates (the early ones) or be total sweeps (the later ones).

I feel pretty good about our chances to get into the finals... but it'll be a near thing, and we'll definitely have to play with our tactics a little bit.

In the mean time.... back to WHorage...

Picked up a nice little Arbalest Heavy Missile fitted drake kill today. Didn't realize those things still sold for so much. 4 launchers dropped and 60m is 60m no matter how you look at it.

It doesn't soothe the loss of today's tourney fight by any means, but it does help me feel a bit better about Eve in general.

On the other hand... once the tourney is over I can get back to War Decs and that should be interesting to say the least.
