You wanted campaign starts in 1945 - you've got 'em!

I've just been looking into the starting date issue. It appears to be impossible to add a choice of starting dates unless the developers add that function in a patch. The date can be changed but you cannot get a choice of dates in the game. A mod like SH3 Commander would be able to do it, but until something turns up the only option is to edit the text file that controls career starts (CareerStart.upc).

Forget what I wrote in the above post. I've found a work-around that will let us choose from a potentially unlimited number of start dates. I just need to create a CareerStart.upc file with the relevant dates - it should be easy but it'll take a little time.
