Sandbox Rules
This sandbox is to be used to construct an event guide for the above-mentioned event map. These guides are to all of the following requirements:
- An overview of the map, including ship/equipment bonuses, Ship Locks, and special mechanics,
- List of branching unlocking requirements (if there are multiple requirements, compositions for each path along with the below requirements will be needed to discuss the unlocking requirements in question),
- A list of working compositions that work: (T=these must have possible alternatives for players who may or may not have all ships needed for a specific path),
- The Paths said compositions will take (to explain each path the composition will/can take),
- A summary or description of what kind of obstacles a composition will face.
- A description of the boss node: what it consists of, and a descriptive guide on what the player should consider for a course of action to successfully win the battle,
- Optional: Tips/guides to farm certain ships and/or resources (this can also require compositions, paths, and possible descriptions).
Editors are to construct their own version of the guide/part of the guide, and complete it in a timely fashion.
No editor is allowed to edit over other editors' work without the consent of the editor and his approval to do so.
Several versions will be constructed through this page and will be reviewed and approved by the staff/collaboration committee before being moved for the Summer 2023 Event, being reviewed and updated once more before it can be released.
Overall there should be 3 versions of the guide that have to be constructed, including: Preliminary > Polished > Finalized Guides
With each approval of each version of the guide, the said guide will be updated to the main page, and construction of the next version will begin.
All guides outside of the approved version will be removed and work will begin from the approved version to make it better for the next version until the finalized version is made.

Jiga's Guide
Map overview
E7 is a Combined fleet three-phase map consisting of two transport and three boss phases.
- 3 LBAS are available on this map.
- This map uses 5 locks:
- An Emergency Anchorage Repair node is present on Y
- An "Airstrike Supported Battle" node is present on M
Barrage Balloons can be deployed on nodes A5 H P U Z
Phase 0.5 - Unlock the Boss Node
"The Channel Islands and Securing the flank for Operation Neptune"
To unlock the first phase, the following steps have to be performed:

Phase 1 - TP
"Engineers Landing at Utah, Omaha & Pointe du Hoc"
Phase 1 is a "Transport Operation":
- LBAS range: 5
- The boss is an hard skin Installation (Pillboxes) and requires specialized gears to be defeated.
Phase 2 - Boss
"Saving Private Fairy at Utah, Omaha & Pointe du Hoc Landing Operation"
The same boss node as of #Phase 1 - TP is faced here, sharing most characteristics, notably the locks .
- LBAS range: 5
- The boss is an hard skin Installation (Pillboxes) and requires specialized gears to be defeated.
Phase 3 - Boss
"Boss Showdown against the Atlantic Wall at Gold, Sword, and Juno Beach"
- LBAS range: 5
- The boss is an hard skin Installation (Pillboxes) and requires specialized gears to be defeated.
Phase 4 - TP
"Reinforcing the Beachheads at Gold, Sword, and Juno Beach"
Phase 4 is a "Transport Operation":
- this is a reference to the joint effort to secure and land more transports and armored units on the 3 beaches as they were secured much earlier compared to difficult fight at Omaha. Some armored divisions managed to reach close to Caen on the first day alone.
The same boss node as of #Phase 3 - Boss is faced here, sharing most characteristics, however, the precious phase's fleet cannot be reused.
- LBAS range: 5
- The boss is an hard skin Installation (Pillboxes) and requires specialized gears to be defeated.
- ASW Node Support/ASW LBAS on Node Q
- Send 1 LBAS which contains 4 Land Based Bombers to O and R each.
- Both O and R have 4 LBAS range.
- Use 2-3 Smoke Generators
at R.
- Node R and the boss have PT boats and they will require specific set-ups to be defeated:

Trivia
This map involves many references to the real operation Neptune:
- Node A5
- This is an anti-installation/landing operation on the island of Guernsey; a strategic location on the Channel Islands. This operation occurred simultaneously with the D-Day Invasion
- Nodes B3 & B4
- This is ASW Sweep around Jersey Island and Saint Malo's Fort de la Conchée; both of which were occupied by Germans and then liberated during the Invasion of Normandy
- Node C3
- Node C3 is in Poole located in Southern England. Poole is the 3rd Largest Embarkation Point during the D-Day Landings. Ships and munition ships came here to resupply and head to the Beaches
- Phase 1
- The reason why a TP phase is the first phase is based on the fact that during the Omaha landings, the first wave were made up of mostly Combat Engineers tasked with clearing the beaches for the landing crafts, Sherman DD's, and LSTs. Sadly most of these units suffered heavy casualties but it is thanks to their sacrifice in clearing the beaches and barbed wires that the succeeding waves were able to land and push in.
- Phase 2
- The 2nd phase being an HP phase might be a reference to the fact that it was via the Second Wave and succeeding waves of landings that the American Elements were able to damage and take over the installations and bunkers at Omaha and Pointe du Hoc
- Node U
- Is in Dieppe which was the site of the first major Allied invasion attempt of Europe during WW2. Sadly it was a military disaster and the Canadian Landing Forces were all defeated.
- Phase 5
- The Boss fight is located at Calais which is the shortest crossing from the UK to Mainland Europe as well as what the Germans suspected as the landing site for the Allied invasion of Europe. This is the location of the diversion and part of Operation Fortitude which was an Allied effort to confuse the Germans.
