Problem with dates

Playing a game with Plaid as Allies. Turn dates went as follows - 9/1/39, 9/21/39, 9/11,39, and continued from there. So, the dates advanced by 20 days but the month retreated by 1 month. GS 200.11. Anyone else ever seen this?

This is a rare bug that's been present from the very first release of the vanilla game (i.e., CEaW 1.00). I've personally got this error once in 2 1/2 years and have probably seen it reported 3 or 4 times by other people over that time. The only workaround is to replay your 9/21/39 turn to get the dates back on track.

Cool. We've played on. It doesn't affect anything downstream does it? Like events tied to specific dates that will never be hit now?

I think all of those type of events are based on turn number and not date ... but you never know.

I have seen this bug once before, in the vanilla version. Viva la bug!
