Scenario start's date issue

When trying to set the start date of the Kiev 41 scenario, a problem arises
The proper start is 31/8/1941, because of operational situation on the map (mainly because AG South armored units got a bridgehead at Kremenchuk that day and started crossing the Dnieper) but the game changes this date to 30/8/1941
Can anyone help me? I want the battle to start on 31/8

For the game, the 31/08/41 does not exist :

At least the leap years 40 and 44 with Feb 29 work.
We should all go back to elementary school that we haven’t noticed this earlier!

Is this for real? Never thought it was possible to mess up and break calendric functions on computer systems.
Who knew? I always figured those digital libraries came pre-installed with the Windows package...

Will it be corrected ?
I think that this bug is not a priority for the devs because it has little even none impact on the official game (?)

The path to enlightenment only leads through another couple of DLCs and updates.

However, it matters for editing and modding, especially if someone pays attention to compliance with historical realities
ok, I set the date of the beginning of the battle on 1/9/1941, considering that the bridgehead has already been captured and now begins the attack in the depths of the Soviet operational space...
but I'm not happy about it at all...
