Increased sub activity off Home Islands; immediate measures taken to discourage further...intrusion of Emperial water!-)

AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR Oct 30, 42

We bomb Akyab and destroy some Dauntlesses on the ground. The enemy Army north of Shwebo is back and we bomb it heavily.
Sweeps claim several enemy fighters. All in all a good turn in Burma with destruction and disruption. Enemy bombers continue to bomb
our Chandra Bose supporter squad and an enemy unit has railed into the dot base [;)]
Enemy bombers also hit our tank regiment moving towards Tennant Creek. A mech army seems to be in pursuit towards Tennant and the 255th Armored Bde is
identified.
