So......the devs confirmed the 7 ship-fleet will be included in this event........

As what the info we get from now, I can only think of 3 ways to implement the 7 ship-fleet mechanics:

1.Same node, Same battle:

=>This way is similar support expedition or extra shelling phrase, where the enemy is shelled by both of our fleet (single fleet/combined fleet and the strike fleet) and they may share bonuses if certain ship was bought into our fleet (much like how combined fleet earn the same bonus no matter which fleet the ship is put at)

2.Same node, different battle:

=>This is a bit more complicated but it is best suited if the devs want to include a story/lore into the game.The single/combined fleet and the strike fleet goes together as one fleet, where the composition of all 3 fleets will affect the routing (or less).When in battle, the single/combined fleets and strike fleet will be separated and will receive different battle, and the 2 fleets may have a differ results based on the 2 battle phrases, or in another way, we are going to face the same enemy fleet, but in different battle where the strike fleet cannot finish enemy fleet and our main fleet will finish the rest.

3.Different node, different battle

=>Simply to say,2 fleets and 2 frontlines. I may expect that support expedition and/or LBAS team will only support one of our fleets, either the single/combined fleet or the strike fleet. The 2 fleet may intersect in one of the nodes, where no.1 or no.2 may be used for the battle, but in the end, the single/combined fleet and the strike fleet will likely to have different branching rules, and different battle in general

In my personal opinion, no.2 is my biggest bet to make the game more interesting but balanced, and we may see more lore in Kancolle in that way other than the normal speech given by our side and the enemy side.

It is all just a theory, tho. If I missed anything or anyone has a new theory, you can always feel free to post it here :), after all, I am only one of the forum user here lel.
