The Summer 2014 event has started on August 8<sup>th</sup> and is scheduled to last for about 20 days.

==Map Details==
[[File:AL_badge.jpg|thumb|Ships with AL badge]]
[[File:MI_sticker.jpg|thumb|Ships with MI badge]]
===Introduction===
* AL is designed to be completable by newer players.
** Low level TTK will encounter easier enemies, but need more number of time to sink boss (likely 9-10 time compare to high level TTK need to sink boss only 6 time).
* This event is "Two-front war". Ships that were sent on AL-operation area (E-1 and E-2), cannot join sorties on MI-operation area (E-3 onwards).
** Ships who have participated in AL cannot participate in MI.
** Ships who have participated in AL or MI cannot participate in support expeditions
** Equipment can be shared across ships
** Advice is to have high-levelled CV with solid escort ships.
* In order to send fleets to the event, you must have '''5 free ship spaces''' and '''20 free equipment spaces'''.
* All maps bosses HP-based. When you damage a boss, even when not killing it, the gauge will decrease accordingly.
** The boss ship must be sunk in the end of the gauge to clear the map. Damaging it to zero gauge but not sinking the boss (top ship of enemy fleet) will not clear it yet.
* There is no boss gauge health regeneration.

===Combined Fleet Mechanics===
* In Midway, you need to sortie two fleets at the same time.
** The first (main) fleet is your tipical fleet with the number 1. The second (escort) fleet is your fleet number 2 and needs 1 CL. You can add up to 2 CA/CAVs and from 3 to 5 DD.
[[File:Ss_(2014-08-09_at_04.56.13).jpg|thumb|MI formations]]
*Special formations quick explanation:
**top left is an ASW formation
**top right is recommended for boss battles (seems to give the best attack boost)
**bottom left seems to work like Diamond formation (even has the same name)
**bottom right is recommended for regular nodes

|branching =
All posted branching rules, as of posting, are VERY tentative. Use at your own risk. ( 2 CVL required, northern route requires CV(?), no more than 2 Fast BB)
* Having more than two CVL will take you to A-C-F.
*having at least one SS will take you to northern route
* 1x Fast BB, 2 CA, CL, 2 CVL takes southern route to boss
* 1x Fast BB, 3 CA, 2 CVL takes southern route to boss
* 2x Fast BB, CA, DD, 2 CVL takes southern route to boss
* 2x CA, DD, Fast BB, 2 CVL takes southern route to boss
* CA, DD, CL, BBV, 2 CVL takes southern route to boss
* 2x CA, 2x BBV, 2x CVL takes southern route to boss
* 4x CA, 2x CVL takes southern route to boss
* 2x CA, 2x DD, 2x CVL takes northern route to boss
* 2x CAV, CL, DD, 2x CVL takes southern route to boss
* CL, BBV, DD, CVL, CV, DD takes southern route to boss
* CL, CVL, CAV, CA, 2x BBV takes southern route to boss
* BB, Fast BB, CA, DD, CV, CVL takes southern route to boss
* Fast BB, 3x CA, CV, DD takes southern route to boss
* There is an as-of-yet unknown LoS requirement for reaching the boss node, consider equipping more than you think is necessary to avoid unpleasant surprises.

|tips =
* H node is a night battle with two possible fleet formations and only one ship is equipped for cut-in attacks, making night battle equipment (Other than the Type 98 Recon Seaplane (Night Scout)) ineffective.
* A node has a submarine, consider equipping a ship with ASW equipment to attempt sinking it before your other ships waste attacks on it.
* If you decide for northern route, have at least 150 FP for air superiority and stock some night battle equipment for the B node.

|information =
* Boss: [[Northern Princess]] (北方棲姫)
* Node D is a night battle node
* Node E is sometimes a sub node
* Killing the boss '''7''' times will empty its HP gauge.
'''Reward'''
* New ship, [[Ooyodo]]
* [[Repair Team]]
* Medal x1
|branching =
* 2x CVL, 2x CA, 1x DD, 1x BBV leads to node A.
* 2x CVL, 2x CA, 1x CL, 1x BBV leads to node A.
* 2x CA/CAV, 2x DD, 2x CVL will go to C, then G. With enough LOS (exact requirement not known) it should always go G to E after that and then E to K.
|tips =
* The [[Northern Princess]] is an installation-type and is vulnerable to [[Type 3 Shell]]s.
* The [[Northern Princess]] evolves into a tougher form for the final battle.
* The [[Northern Princess]] is immune to torpedoes, including torpedo bombers.
* During shelling phase, dive bombers can't attack [[Northern Princess]] but torpedo bombers can. Don't confuse with aerial phase that torpedo bombers can't attack her.
* E node has two completely different fleets, one has surface ships while the other is composed of submarines.
* At least in northern rute, line abreast works fine in all pre-boss nodes.
* Certain LoS required to reach node E from G and E to K.
* If having trouble clearing the boss, equip CA(V) With sanshiki instead of Radar + Seaplane or Radar + Radar. Using this setup, (assuming 2DD 2CA(V) 2 CVL) stack radars on one of the DD's instead to compensate for lost LOS. This will make that one DD useless, but your CA(V)'s will wreck the boss at night battle.
