==Combat Stages==
For most combat engagements, the battle will begin in day combat and follow the following set of stages. Several stages will not occur unless certain conditions are met. For Event maps, a [[Combined Fleet]] mechanic has been implemented which follows a modified combat order.

;Shelling, 1st Round (Range Order)
Participants: All ships except [[:Category:Submarines|SS]]. Firing order alternates between allied and enemy sides starting with allied. For each side, ships with higher range have priority. The firing order is composed of only ships that are able to take part and is set at the start of each shelling phase. Any ships sunk or incapacitated before their turn results in a lost turn for the side it is on.
