There are some date filters to the left of the "play" button. The start date is when time starts when you hit "play" as well as filtering what units you see on the map.
So your mission is june 42, set the left time to 1942 and 6. Hit play.
What simple base are you trying to place, firewall? there is an option on the menu pull downs to show land units. pick it from roster, and drop on map.
