Summer 2023 Event/E-7/Sandbox
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.

- 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 - 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.
Trivia:
- 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 - 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.
- This means that the precious phase's fleet can be reused.
- LBAS range: 5
- The boss is an hard skin Installation (Pillboxes) and requires specialized gears to be defeated.
Trivia:
- 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
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:
Anti-PT boat | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Unlike most standard Abyssals, "PT boats" (PT Imp Pack & Schnellboot Imp Pack ) are "very small and fast".
During Events, some special bonuses may be added, with "historical" ships and equipment gaining some accuracy bonuses[10].
