AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 06/01/42
June has come along, finally no zero bonus, althought it hardly matters in java right now.

merchants these past 31 days and plenty more are in the firing line and even more damaged
and running a submarine gauntlety back to safety.

NOW thats what i call a serious hit, shame this never launched when he was approaching
else his landing forces would have been toasted. Now he's got the imp guard , 18th div and
one regiment at kragen it cant hold. im pondering wherther to run back to soerbaja before
i get cut off. However i think its too late anyway .. he'll advance from maleop to prevent kragen from withdrawing, leaving only 2 regiments for the defence of soerbaja.
He's moved , i believe the para unit upto batavia, lets see if we can boot it out ..( pending
next turn)
