Here is one more simple tool I have written out for myself to save hours of mental calculation: a calendar that lists the date of every turn in the game, from the start of the war on August 1, 1914 until the end on November 11, 1918. No more trying to remember if November has 30 or 31 days; or if 1916 was a leap year! It's all here.

This is helpful. One related question is how does weather map to the calendar?

Weather is determined by the geographic region (land or sea) and by the season or sub-season of the year. Sub-seasons matter in terms of the weather. They run as follows (according to Section 5.1.3 of the Manual):

December 21 - March 1: Winter

March 1 - March 20: Late Winter

March 21 - April 30: Spring

May 1 - June 20: Late Spring

June 21 - September 20: Summer

September 21 - October 14: Early Fall

October 15 - November 30: Fall

December 1 - December 20: Late Fall

If you look at the weather effects in the Game Editor, you can see the probability of each weather type for a given region and the season or sub-season.

Haha.. I was keeping track of these dates (finally) for my YT thumbnails as we went forward with our MP match. Well...this plus the season guide should be a must for the Strategy Guide....along with your other work.

Well done Michael.
