It was in the middle of the 'night' for most of our pilots, when we spotted a WT in system. We were scrambling from that point on. From scouts, I had heard they had 10 battleships in sasta and 1 in tanoo, so i decided , snap decisionm, 3 logi 5 dps for us and let's try to engage before they get to the force and wear then down (I was concerned it was the vanguard of a larger force). Alex Carmel was FC on the spot. We managed to get more dps, as well as Reginald Sakikabara as a target caller, right as we undocked in response to my ping. We had 13 (with two frigs, 3 logi, 8 dps). The frigates; job was to tackle. I initially suspected some of them ran, because we had a count of 10-11 of them, but it turned out that was the entire force - only one stabber withdrew and the remainder fought to the bitter end, a brawl between the Golden Fleet and Matari 'Rust'. No further fleet came at that point so now it is surmised they were hunting and hoping the one WT in Tanoo would bait one of our pilots into making a mistake (as there had been some skirmishes earlier in the day in Sasta and Tanoo).
