E1: 発動準備、第十一号作戦！
 E1 - Torpedo Squadron operation 
 * Specifications
 * Only light cruisers and destroyers are allowed


 * Branching rules
 * Player's choice between north and south route
 * LoS check pre-boss


 * Strategies
 * The north route has a nasty battle against surface fleet with Ri-Class flagship and Chi-class flagship, taking this route requires node support to reach boss reliably.


 * The south route has a sub node and a much weaker surface fleet battle. In Hard mode, there's a preemptive torpedo submarine flagship which can easily send any destroyer home. He-class light cruiser is the main problem in the other two nodes as their closing salvo can be comparable to that of CLTs.


 * Having four ships capable of incapacitating light cruisers is recommended as the pre-boss south can have up to 3 cruisers. General choices are three cruisers and Yuudachi/Ayanami Kai Ni for their shelling power.


 * When taking the south route, having three ASW equipped can be beneficial. The submarine flagship needs 2 hits from ASW ships under normal conditions. Since light cruisers fire first and are likely to sink normal submarines, the destroyers should carry ASW to stop closing salvo from flagship sub.

E2: 第二次カレー洋作戦
 E2 - Preemptive Airstrike main force 
 * Specifications
 * Combined fleet is required


 * Branching rules
 * Player's choice between direct boss route and extra Unryuu path.
 * Surface task force goes north, Carrier task force goes south
 * LoS check pre-boss


 * Strategies
 * Up to four CVs are allowed via Carrier task force combined fleet. Fill them up with enough bombers to obliterate the enemy fleet in the opening airstrike. Coupled with the fact that up to three preemptive CLTs can be used in the escort fleet, it is easy to wipe out most of the trash before battle event starts.


 * The only real concern is the battle versus Wo kai and it requires 230 fighter power (fp) to AS and 459 fp to AS+. Preferably, admirals should aim for AS only with AACI defense and spend more plane slots for bombers. Type 2 Recon plane is recommended.


 * If confident with the follow-up shelling power, consider further improving preemptive strike with double torpedo setup for CLTs. This allows them to take out flagship BBs and Wo-class in opening strike.
