Talk:D-GTMI (Battle of)
"at 2 of the main gates" - changed to specific gates based on dotlan research, request confirmation.
Since, I do not know the strategic layout of this battle nor was I present, maybe a note of the defender stargate and the invader stargates, since there are only three gates in system. I made a guess based on Dot-lan layout and sov holding
Additionally, after the battle do we know what providence holders were interested in the offer for peace or are they too numberous to be listed individually?
The videos don't make it clear if there were two major fleet engagements, preceeded by smaller skirmishes by the involved fleets. From the description given, I'm lead to believe that there were skirmishes by defending forces prior to the intial defender response. I'm calling this the first engagement. The period after the defender subcapitals retreat until they return in greater number, the tactical withdrawl. By the second engagement, I'm referring to the return of CVA/Providence/Holder forces until their defeat at the SBUs.
If someone who was at the battle could clarify, it would be appreciated.
A. There were several engagements over time, small and big, each ultimately resulting in the conflagration of all out sovereignty warfare over the D-G system. There were several larger scale battles prior to this, see the confrontation with AAA carriers + supercarriers on a gate and Providence forces attempting to ward them off as visible in the part 1 and 2 footage. Over the course of that week with that engagement politics played in the background, when that failed, sovereignty warfare began. Which required several engagements and steps, as per game mechanics. The effective D-G battle as most refer to it, was the last battle in the sovereignty mechanical conflict, the last round so to speak. There were prior engagements, at each round, but those had far less conflict. The battle, so to speak, was the deciding battle.

Would it then serve the community as a whole to cover the preceeding minor engagements, the week prior to the battle?
Additionally, would it be useful to increase the level of detail with regards to the negotiations over the LFA accquisitions in Catch as a precursor to the engagement in D-GTMI?
Would creating a new page dealing with the New Providence War be useful?
Additionally, was it LFA that spearheaded the calls for peace in the aftermath of D-G? http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1291064
Additionally, who is Hardin?
