In either version I'm always told to report to base on the 1st, so you're not supposed to be able to patrol until after that.

Whatever though, I seem to have found a fix that works, So I've remade the mission I sent you, and I'm using time triggers in a few Asiatic fleet missions too.

It's possible that happened to me to, I was changing dates to find the problem. Maybe I did get assigned on the first and started on the second. Once I entered the mission, I was using TC to get to the location and see when the message appeared, so maybe I just forgot to look at the date on the clipboard. I don't remember for sure.

But I do consider the time triggers to be a bug. You put in a "specific" date and it does not use that date, it uses the difference betweent that and the mission start date to determine when the trigger goes off. So if it is not the first mission, like yours is, you won't have any idea when you are going to start the mission. The mission will be available for a certain period of time and you could start any time between the startdate and the enddate.

We will have to do a little testing and make sure if it uses the Startdate that is written in the mission or if it changes depending on the actual date you are assigned the mission and recalculates the trigger delay.
