Operation: Red Sky is the 6th Special Event to be presented in War Commander.
In most cases Commanders are challenged to complete increasingly more difficult objectives against one or more Rogue Factions. With the successful completion of each objective in the allotted time the Player is awarded with special Event Experience Points (eXP) which they may in turn use to unlock Special Event Prizes in the Event Shop. The Event Format for each Special Event may vary, see below for more information.
eXP is awarded for Damage done to other Buildings in the base at a reduced rate.
The Experience Points are immediately add to the Players total as the damage is done without ending the attack.
The Bonus Wings at the conclusion of the attack displays the total eXP earned in that attack.

I had expected some amount of resistance, but what I've seen so far is pathetic. Our pilots love target practice, so if you persist in this foolishness there will be nothing left of you but scrap.

In previous events you get points for fully destroying a base, this had 3 problems
Someone could come in and ninja the points after you end your first attack
People could take out defenses and leave the base for a low level player to clean up, giving low level players a weapon that is too powerful for their level, messing with the balance of the game
If you did a lot of damage but ran out of time or units you lost out on the points
So in this event we wised up and now award points on damage done to the base and the units in it, giving more points for defenses and units and less points for other buildings. It is possible for you to take out all defenses and leave the buildings for a friend but you will get the majority of the points available and they will get relativity very little. This also means that if you go in and do a lot of damage then run out of time or someone ninjas you then you have not lost out completely.
