Operation: Red Swarm is the 11th 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.
A Player Exclusive Event Base is a Rogue Faction Event Base that is attached to each Player's Base for the entirety of the Event.
This event base will serve as the target for all Attacking Waves for the player.
The event base may only be attacked by the player to which it is attached.
The event base will remain in a Protection Bubble until the player has reached a Attack Wave.
During Attack Waves the the bubble is removed and the player is allowed access to the event base.
The Level and Layout of the base will change based on the players current attack wave.
The event base will always appear under a Protection Bubble to all other players.
The colored hexagon that adjoins the player's base to the event base may only be occupied by the player to which it is attached throughout the duration of the event.
This insures the player will always have at least one hex to gain access to the event base.

Event Experience Points (eXP)
The Player is awarded eXP for all Damage done to Event Base Buildings and Units during the Event. These points may be tracked by the Player in the Event Panel located above the Mission Panel while both on the World Map and in the Player's Base.
As the Player acquires eXP, they may at any time during and up to 48 hours after the end of the Event, choose to spend all or a portion of their eXP on one or more of the newly introduced Special Event Prizes in the Event Shop.
The Event Shop is displays all Event Prizes available during the Event :

Sasha Kalashnikov has splintered off from her father, Sergey, to form a new rogue faction-- Red Lokust. Sasha and her followers have already wiped out the Black Widow faction and now have their sight set on your base. Their assault begins on Friday, February 22.
It seems the Kalashnikov truce was short lived. Although her father Sergei has spared her life, Sasha Kalashnikov's faild coup attemp has led to her exile from the Sickle Syndicate. Satellite images indicate that she's currently roaming the wastelands with a small group of loyalist recruiting piolots and capturing enemy aircraft. Be wary, Commander - no one is safe!
Breaking Intel, Commander: By leveraging her superior airpower to use, Sasha Kalashnikov and her small group of loyalists have overthrown and assumed control of the much lager Black Widow Rogue Faction. After the battle, Kalashnikov broadcast the following statement on all radio frequencies: "The spider is no more. The Swarm has prevailed. Join the Swarm or die."
The World Map has changed forever! Kalashnikov has pulled together elite air units to form the Red Lokust Rogue Faction. This new terror has begun aggressive expansion in every direction. Prepare your defense, Commander - the battle begins in less than 24 hours.
Don't give up, Commander - there's less than 24 hours left to defeat the Red Lokust! Finish strong and show Sasha Kalashnikov she messed with the wrong army. Good luck!
