EDIT: Which basically is what peabody told me, and I didn't notice.

I would call that a bug.
I don't want to burst your bubble, although I did start at 1400, twice I started on Dec 1 and twice I started Dec 2.

So yes it does not start at midnight, so you are correct there, but like I mentioned, when you had the mission written for 1940-1-1 it used the mission date, not the date in the PO.cfg and the message would have been 1.9 years late. So from the testing I have done, it seems to be the difference between the mission start date and the actual start date. Which would could be taken into account in a single mission (quick mission) but not in the Campaign, since they start you when they want to.
