Editor > Date of battle effect?

[DaveyJJ]

Is there a specific functional effect when you change the date a scenario is taking place in? Does it change the units available to each nationality in the OOB?

For example, are Sherman IC/IC Hybrid/VC (Firefly) unavailable to British forces until the date is set to at least 31 May 1944 (the day Montgomery's 21st Army Group took ownership of the first batch of 340+ tanks).

Or is it simply decorative and give flavour to the scenario read-me/intro?

The date has a impact on the orchard/Grain (if it is in season or not, same principle as in ASL), no impact on vehicles availability. However Date has a impact for special ammunition availability for Ordnance/AFV.

Would love the maps to go white in Winter as in VASL.

Thanks for clarifying. I'll just make sure that any scenarios I create will come with the appropriate OOBs and unit types, then.
