DEC 30 1939-FEB 10 1940

When I finish my turn as the Axis on Dec 30, 1939...when I hit the end turn button... after cycling a bit... I see the date of Jan 20, 1939...but the game keeps cycling and finally I can take control... the date is Feb 10, 1940.

I had no opportunity to do anything on Jan 20, 1940...What gives???

BTW-tried 3x's from DEC 30 with the same result.

Hi David

From reading the description I think this is as intended, as your turn will end in December, then the Allied turn covers January, and it's back to you in February.

I'm still a newbie, but if you are telling me this is normal...then this represents a 41 day passage of time.

If my memory serves me correctly, months back there was a discussion of the various turn times..."winter" months covered more days and the "summer" months were 14 days or so. I never recall a 40+ day turn in all those discussions and I believe a patch had to be issued that basically in a year's time, 4 turns were "missing" and had to be corrected via a revision. What are the various turn cycle times now over the course of the year?

There are much fewer turns (more time in between) in the winter months than the other seasons. There was an issue in one of the releases, the following post discusses turn length (the release issue). Its also in the manual.

TXS PvtBenjamin...in that thread Hurbert confirmed that the turns are to be 11, 7, 11, and 21...per the manual.

So my original question remains...why a 41 day turn????? to the devs.

I saw the 21 day cycle of DEC 30-JAN 20 appear "briefly" in the top right corner of the screen, but the AI didn't finish until FEB 10th...a passage of time of 41 days?

I've tried restarting 5 times from DEC 30...always end up on FEB 10.

21 days for your opponent then 21 for you
