During some tests I was running I got a draw during Spring 1946 when the Axis did not reach the first shift value. In other words, the Axis should have received a season penalty but did not. With more thorough testing, I discovered the error is specific to the Spring 1946 season and only when an Axis penalty is applied. An Axis positive shift apparently works fine. Here are the results in detail.

No shift, normal scale--------A positive shift game---------A negative shift game
Sp45----------------------------Decisive Allied

Su45- Decisive Allied---------Substantive Allied

Fa45- Substantive Allied-----Marginal Allied----------------Decisive Allied

Wi46- Marginal Allied---------Draw---------------------------Substantive Allied

Sp46- Draw--------------------Marginal Axis------------------Draw ****** Here's the error*****

Su46- Marginal Axis----------Substantive Axis---------------Draw

Fa46- Substantive Axis-------Decisive Axis------------------Marginal Axis

Wi47- Decisive Axis---------------------------------------------Substantive Axis


Note that in the third column where I point out the error the game should display a Marginal Allied victory. Instead it doubles up on two seasons of draws.
