Action Report: E3 (draft)

Please excuse the terrible CSS. This map was done fully on normal difficulty.

Gimmicks, Part I

Node B4 / Node D3 / Node E2

A similar fleet from E2 was reused, though note the addition of Usugumo, so that we had four "historical" ships in the fleet (Nachi, Abukuma, Hatsushimo, Usugumo).
LBAS alternated between two bases of bombers and fighters, and a Toukai base to deal with node D3. Only two of the three shown bases were sortied at a time.

Northern Water Princess at Node G

This fight didn't put up much resistance until the last dance. The last dance took a few runs to clear, mainly due to the tankiness of the escorting ships, but we got it! Hatsushimo got a beautiful kill with a torpedo cut-in.

Boss support

Both air bases were sent to the boss at node G.

Gimmicks, Part II

Node H3 / Node I1

Striking fleet with ASW equipment.
LBAS was only used for the node I1 part: the first to node I and the second to node I1.

Node I3 / Node K2

Only a six-ship single fleet for surface combat.
Both bases to I3.
For node K2, a few changes were made. Takao and Akishimo had some equipment changes: an arctic shield on Takao, and OASW on Akishimo.
The first LBAS base was sent to K2, and the second (Toukai) base was split between J and K.

Node M1 / Node M2

Straight-forward combined fleet, ready for the second boss.

Escort Fleet

The Toukai base was sent to node K, and the other base to M1 or L.
