Talk:Fall 2015 Event/@comment-25322975-20151104161610

Since last summer event still part of Solomon Islands campaign a.k.a. Guadalcanal, I examining some related smaller-sized operations and found some strong candidates.

From this dev tweet:

「「艦これ」秋イベント：期間限定海域の作戦展開を、全ての準備が整えば今月【11/18(水)】に開始する予定です. 作戦規模は夏イベのように大規模ではありませんが、秋イベの主作戦では南方の島への戦闘艦艇を用いた「輸送作戦」、またそれによって生起する海戦などを展開する予定です. 」

The most significant I had found so far:

1) Battle of Kolombangara

Since the 「輸送作戦」means "transport operation", it historically related to "Tokyo Express" transport effort regardless of engagement time. Ships involved: 1 CL and 5 DD.

2) Battle of Cape Esperance

This battle related to Tokyo Express as given before, occured in October (autumn season indeed per se). It involved Henderson field as land base, destroyers, cruisers, and seaplane tender to mention with.

3) Battle of Vella Lavella

Also had time in October and related with Kolombangara, this battle is simpler with only DDs and auxiliaries engagement.

Regardless whatever battle that devs will choose, I suggest yours to prepare your best destroyers and light cruisers; they played major role on Tokyo Express transport operations since auxiliaries are easily spotted by allies.
