If you were to select the 23rd of October 1939 and the game then commenced the patrol on the 2nd November, does SH3Comm load files for the October or November?

The game is very imprecise when it comes to dates. Basically, the game can be off by a month, depending on what your NbDaysInBase setting is in Basic.cfg. RUb comes with 31 days as standard, so (because every mod I make is based on RUb) SH3 Commander's Newsmod is tuned to that setting. This means that when you use Newsmod, the date you set in SH3 Commander will set you up for a month ahead of that date. This works perfectly for careers (as it takes into account the 31 days between the date in the base and the date of the next mission) but it will be off by a month for single missions (i.e. if you set up for 23rd of October 1939, the game will actually load files that are correct for 23rd of October 1939). In practice it doesn't make that much difference, since the changeover dates are usually not that precise anyway.
