Calendar Question

[KaleunBier]

Ok, I was near Vigo in February of 1940 waiting for that port to open up as a re-supply point and it was 28 Feb. Ok so I think 28 days in Feb then I'm in and I have TC up high and at 0000 it goes to 29 Feb....I'm pretty sure '40 was not a leap year, I'm not complaining about anything but is the calendar standardized or something in the game? By the way Sh3/GWX/SH3Commander

1940 was a leap year.

Thursday, February 29, 1940, Hattie McDaniel became the first African American woman to win an Oscar.

Also..
The Winter War... The battle of Viipuri. Soviet forces launch an all-out effort to crush resistance in the Karelian Isthmus by encircling the city of Viipuri and reaching the Viipuri-Helsinki highway.
In Helsinki... The Finns decide that they must give in to the Soviet demands but their note to that effect is not sent immediately because of British and French reactions to the news. The French government has become deeply committed to a policy of supporting Finland and persuades the British to join in making rash promises that cannot possibly be kept.
In Japan... Britain returns 9 of the 21 Germans removed from the Asama Maru (on January 21st) after Tokyo agrees not to transport German military reservists attempting to return home.
In the West Indies... The destroyer HMS Despatch intercepts the German merchant ship Troja off Aruba. The ship is scuttled by her German crew.
In Uruguay... The wreck of the scuttled German pocket battleship Admiral Graf Spee is sold to a local company for scrap.

Indeed, it's a leap year. 1940 is a multiple of 4 years, and not a multiple of 100 years. There is also a rule that every multiple of 400 years IS a leap year but that obviously doesnot apply here.
