Speculation

Ship Speculation

• Teruzuki, the second Akizuki-Class destroyer is speculated to appear, based on the tweet given on 7/23/2015.
• Five other ships will be obtainable.
• From interviews held in the June 2015 Comtiq Magazine, Shoukaku and Zuikaku are suspected to receive their Kai Ni this event.

Map and theme Speculation

Operation SN was a campaign in which Japan attempted to establish airfields in the southern Solomon Islands, including a seaplane base on Tulagi and an airfield on neighboring Guadalcanal.

On August 7 the Allies launched Operation Watchtower with the intention of capturing these airfields; the airfield on Guadalcanal quickly fell and was renamed Henderson Field.

The IJA was lax in their response at first, believing this to be only a reconnaissance in force; however, Admiral Yamamoto thought otherwise. He sent naval forces to challenge the Americans' sea presence in the region, thus beginning a running siege that would last for five months, with the Americans owning the seas by day and the IJN ferrying in troops under the cover of darkness.

The event will likely emphasize fighting land installations and fending off air raids. The numerous nocturnal encounters in the Guadalcanal campaign suggest night battles will be prevalent.

Introduction

The Summer 2015 Event "Counterattack! The Second SN Operation" is projected to start on August 8th of 2015. The event will be based on Operation SN, the Japanese plan to establish air bases in the southern Solomon Islands.
