Event Help - Random Time

I have a scenario stating at 1200 hours 12 July 2017. I have an event with a trigger of Random time = 0800-1200 13 July 2017. The event trigger is activating an inactive mission. Every time I start the scenario this event fires.

I have:

1. Double checked the random time parameters
2. Double checked that the mission in questions is set "inactive" at scenario start
3. Double checked my scenario start time and current time are set correctly

Is there something else I am missing?

Is the random time the only trigger for the event? If not, then it will fire the instant any of the triggers are met, instead of when all of them are.

Actually I was thinking about this issue this morning. I think the problem may be that I need to set the units (which are SSM sites) to weapons tight ROE. I think the may be engaging targets of opportunity and the mission itself is not actually firing. I guess I though units assigned to a mission would not do that on their own.

Going to check at lunch to see if that is correct
