The major warships already under construction have definite arrival dates but in the editor some ships have the arrival date set as 999999, which I think tells the game to randomize their arrival over a range of time.
Even with no variation in arrivals I have seen unit arrivals after the end date of the scenario. My first time out with the Philippine Sea scenario I was fooled by some late arriving ships and LCUs into thinking the scenario must run that long, so I did not get to one of the crucial islands in time![:@]
I think all 9's means no arrival for units. It's a way of keeping them in the scenario file for later use.
Never thought of that. Will have to check it out when I next start a scenario.

Recall that Tracker has an option in many of its display screens to ignore or filter out things with 999999 arrival dates.

Planning your operation around when something may or may not arrive from your opponent's reinforcements is using super intelligence not available during the real war. Like Hans I prefer to play with the largest reinforcement variable so we cannot predict, to the day when our opponent may get a reinforcement of high value.

It's my own reinforcements that concern me. lol. I am counting
on several support units for landings and praying the Chinese
are not delayed further than what it says.

In that case since you are planning around your own reinforcements you have to deal with the supply SNAFU.

actually it should be "9999" arrival date, which is non-date for that scenario.

Bon Voyage!
I hope the heat wave over there subsides before you arrive!
One thing that helps if you have to be out on hot days is a wet item around the neck. I have something the Aussies call a "cobber" that is a cloth "snake-like" tube with gel beads inside. Soak it for 10 minutes and the beads absorb so much water the tube is near bursting. Keeps you cool all day.

I was only in Germany (Frankfurt Flughaffen) for a layover, the rest of the time in a villa about
8 km NNE of Sienna. Got back over the weekend. FANTASTIC trip. Francois and I have exchanged
a few turns since.
ps. anyone know if/how you can pause a replay??
