OBSERVATIONS
My first missile doctrine as an FC, so I ran a bit long on the pre-roam briefing. I wanted to make sure I covered how to perform an Alpha strike and some of the limitations of the fleet, make sure we had enough Kestrels, make sure everyone had proper mid-slot modules fitted, etc. I had planned on finding a rat of some sort to practice the Alpha strike on, but a RLML Caracal and a Jaguar decided to volunteer for the job. Almost half of the fleet was flying something other than Kestrels, as we had a fair amount of Alphas and newer Omegas who hadn't trained into Caldari frigates yet. Proved to be a blessing in disguise as we had a metric ton of tackle to spread the love and hold everything down. The Alpha strike on the Caracal took it into half armor, and then we finished it off. The Jag went down even faster. Nothing like a live-fire exercise!

Basically crickets until Kinakka, with 24 in local and a big fleet that we had no chance of taking in a plex. I don't know how, but our scout found a Daredevil which we proceeded to destroy with all haste. He was NOT happy about being blobbed.
(02:23:23Z) Kinakka
Burst -3.87m
Atron -5.95m
Daredevil +117.07m
In Aivonen we dropped in on a Comet/Dramiel/Firetail in a plex, but we couldn't get to the scout fast enough. Then the Dramiel pilot had the nerve to come back and complain about us scooping his drones

Atron -3m
Break in Ichoriya, then for the fun in Nenn, which never fails to deliver. We warped to a plex to grab a...frigate of some sort??? I can't remember. And the reason I can't remember is because a Hurricane jumped in behind us and we switched targets! The ??? frigate warped off to clean himself up, and the Hurricane died in a glorious barrage of missile fire. We found a Harpy/Dramiel/Comet outside a plex in Hikk that we jumped in on. The Dramiel was far too fast for us to catch, but the Comet made for a nice kill.

Hurricane +108.45m
Kestrel -13.45m
Federation Navy Comet +27.55m
As we were getting ready to leave Hikk after a few minutes of not finding anything else, we nabbed us a Breacher.

Breacher +16.45m
Capsule +0.01m
Fairly quiet after that until we got to Kedama, where we found the remnants of two larger gangs that we had intel on from earlier in the evening. I would not have expected them to still be running, but they were. We managed to find a lone Exequror and take him down, which took a bit since he was self repping and we had lost a number of ppl due to time constraints. We got him though, and thankfully he didn't receive any help.

Exequror +24.87m
On our way back to Stacmon we found a couple of Confessors and Caracal Navy issue. We dropped on the CNI in a large, which was 100 clicks off the gate. A Flycatcher dropped in behind us, and the flies killed the spider. Still would have liked that CNI, but he played standoff games until backup arrived in the form of a Moa/Confessor/Omen Navy Issue. Time to go!

Griffin -28.01m
Flycatcher +93.84m
And all was quiet back to Stacmon.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND SUMMARY
Considering that was the first time I ran a missile Alpha strike doctrine, I think things went really well. I may run it one or two more time to get the hang of it before stepping up to Caracals. Might as well risk making mistakes on the cheaper frigates. Everyone did great with following FC commands, and I felt like I did a better job this week maintaining comms discipline when needed. All in all a good fleet.
