if the Interval between missions is set at 30 days, why would SH4 assign our next mission to begin just four days after we pull into port?

Dale Carnegie always maintained that you should never tell anyone that they are wrong. About Anything. Including, I suspect, SH4.

We shoved off on 12/23/41.

Our Mission was to patrol in the immediate vicinity of Manila, so we were on-station later in the day of 12/23/41 and i performed a SaveGame using the date, as i always do. I can send you the SaveFile if you actually want it.

the question still remains: why does SH4 constantly contradict itself? this is another instance of that.
