An Osprey Navy Issue warped to our citadel at 100. We decided to chase it first to the sun, and then to bacon. Bubbles were called and Cyus took up the job. He managed to beat the osprey to bacon just about, drop a bubble, jump and bubble again.
The Osprey had different plans however... It MWD'd at like 3,400m/s or something and pulled massive range. Zana came in with his malediction and grabbed point, and then after further encouragement, closed in for scram.
This gave me the ability to warp to him and then grab heavy scram, allowing him to bug out as RLML's hurt. He managed to get out in very low structure whilst i held tackle.
Looking at the fit afterwards he was having to use his ASB's against me, but conci came in with an Oracle and helped me blap him. As he was dying however a wolf came in, initially going after conci.
Thanks to the Wolf's piloting and my faction scram i was able to land the scram and immobilize the wolf, we started killing it and after burning through/waiting out the ADC timer it died.

Round 2:
Shortly after killing them they started upshipping and bringing more numbers. Initially we called get out.
After a while of just watching their numbers grow and shinier things come in we were looking at blueballing them. Some motions were thrown around and we asked for FC's but nothing was going anywhere quickly.
Eventually i begrudgingly decided to and we called for Nano Doctrine.
We got together 2 oracles, 2 Hurricanes, 1 Ferox, 1 Scythe and 1 Caracal.

We took a while to form, a long while... But eventually we pulled our socks up and moved off towards the connection, totally expecting to die but hoping to bring something down with us.
Jumped in, Overheated MWD in a certain direction, Anchored on myself and started shooting. We managed not to lose anything burning off the hole and started laying dps into their fleet.
Their setup had changed by this point but either way, was still fairly scary.
Through various event that i can't fully remember due to focusing on other things urban got caught by the Ashimmu and then the Scythe Fleet issue. We took this opportunity to focus those two ships and managed to kill the ashimmu. Our Scythe died and then their SFI managed to warp out in low Structure.
At this point we just continued fighting and shooting what we could, Keres Damps and Kitsune jams were annoying us but we were still able to fight.
Fight continues and eventually we've killed enough stuff that they decide to bug out and leave gf's in local.

Overall very good flying and piloting by people, managed to keep out heads together, coms clear and focus on what we were doing.
We didn't die in a ball of fire like we expected, we actually really took it to them and did very well.
We also only had 1 point called during that entire fight which proves that points aren't always required since people can misjudge their warpout times and tanks allowing us to get kills.
Cons:
Formup took soooooo long. Like, incredibly long. If that was another group who were less patient we wouldn't have got a fight.
Some FC commands were also ignored by certain people, while you might think that you know better than the FC, it's always good practice to follow the orders you're given. Discussions can be had after the fleet as to why certain things can be done better/differently, but ignoring the FC can cause problems.
Personal Cons:
Initially the call was to anchor on myself. while it did work out kinda well, it put the other ships at a disadvantage as my Oracle has a much longer engagement range and i was likely asking people to shoot further than they could. Not to mention that once someone got caught up by something they were effectively on their own.
