I realise this is, more or less historical,...
Yes........it is

I will admit that a summer map should in theory place the "summer" Icon set on the map when the date is set to summer months as it does with MBT but we have the code in SPWW2 set up to produce the correct historical battle locations and that generates the Icon set. It's been like this for a decade +......closer to a decade and a half and it's never been an issue until today.

AFAIK in this case it had to be done in this way to ensure historical generated battles and campaigns produce "historical" locations with the appropriate Icon set but Andy would know more about that
