The boss node is not terribly difficult, and bonus ships have a significant enough bonus they should be able to kill the boss at night with double attacks. You can send 1-2 LBAS here, and possibly the other to help with pass rate at a surface node (probably M). On LD it is preferable to commit all LBAS to the boss to ensure victory. Use of Vanguard may also help with pass rate at surface nodes. Support is not really necessary, although boss support may help with LD.
