Aye, the lag was a pain. Having said that, this was an event rather than a battle - well, okay it was a battle. But I like that there is progression in terms of a story here. We should definitely do this again.
And uh, I'd prefer if it was kept to just Synth and LWB at first? I mean, sure Synth probably doesn't have that many active escorts, but LWB really isn't that big either. With BHG you really don't know who you're getting, and no offence to the faction leaders, but there are some guys who aren't really event-suitable (take a look at the last LWB BHG event for example).
It's not THAT hard to set up a couple of synth escorts (I know your repping isn't great, but it's not awful), hell I'll even help you out. Get a couple of eagles on a couple of shareds for those that don't have their own escorts, and we could have this as a nice little 2-5 a side sort of thing. If you bring a load of BHG, we'll probably have to bring Hessians to balance, and then it's basically a BHG vs Hessian event.
If you're strapped for numbers, maybe try a Rheinland corp or the RFP as well? The RFP/Bundschuh event died so they need something to do!
