Play this puzzle online at the Daily Sudoku site
 
 
and then needed the 18-2 XY-Wing to polish it off. I can't see any more
 
basics, but I may be wrong....

Entirely correct. The absence of all those 3s makes it a basics only. I wonder
 
if this happens when there's a box-line interaction and a VH solution (the XY-wing) at
 
the same time and the software gives the VH solution precendence. I've 
 
noticed that there are few if any wings in non VH puzzles.....
