Month and Year only. No day. No hour.

Re: Battle dates: year, month, day, hour?
Thanks, DRG.
It's not what I was hoping to read, but it is a clear and final answer.
I'll consider in what way to adjust warcab so that it can better cope with this.
One option mentioned already is asking the user to provide the day/hour details, with some kind of dialog box that pops up whenever adding a savegame implies adding a new battle.
In the mean time I'm of course open to any other suggestions, so if any of you has another idea how to approach this, please share!

DRG, could you (or anybody else) help me with the following questions:
What are the odds of more than 28 ( or more than the number of days in the month) different battles in a month during a generated campaign?
What about designed campaigns, is there any limitation there?
Could a campaign designer create campaigns with more battles in a month than days in a month?
In that last case, would it be acceptable to consider this quite special and to not require solid support for it in warcab?

It is possible to generate a campaign lasting 1 month with 200 battles in it...  |

Oh, I see. 
Well, if 200 battles a month makes sense to you, who am I to argue with that.
But, to be honest, this is not what warcab was designed to support. With 200 battles in one month,
battle dates lose their meaning both for battle disambiguation and for unit chronology.
Some significant additional development would be needed to move warcab away from battle dates
(for winSPWW2 only) in a maintainable and robust way.
