Thanks for the advice about the equipment, by the way. The second try today ended in an immediate retreat because of the battleship in node C picking off Chitose straight to 1HP (!), so after repairing and sparkling up, decided to put the event expedition to use, throwing in 2BBV 2DD 2CVL to assist in stages on the third and final attempt of the night, and it paid immediate dividends by carrying my fleet all the way to the boss with only one ship taking light damage, the rest with either scratch or no damage.

The loli boss, however, is quite a piece of work. She took both Ashigara and Chitose (goddamn you) down to orange with the opening salvo, and sniped Kako to orange from full health on her next attempt. I had to go into night combat to kill her for the first time, and that was only because Shimakaze had managed to take no damage at all throughout the run. Amazingly, Jun'you also survived unscathed. I might have to start using the boss support expedition just in case.

I know this setup now works, so I'll be making some inroads to clearing E-2 tomorrow once I regenerate some more repair buckets. For now, I'll be letting my heavily damaged ships (all four of them) heal up while I sleep. :3
