Battle Dates

[MortuusSum]

Hey, folks,

First of all, loving the game so far. This is the first RTS I've ever gotten really into, mostly because of the way the campaign/army management stuff has been done. Anyway, I've spotted something that seems odd, but I'm not entirely sure it's a bug, so I decided to post here and ask other players instead of submitting a ticket right away. I'm playing a Union campaign, and I've just finished the Battle of Shiloh, which the game dates 04/06/1862 (which is correct, as far as I know - my knowledge on the U.S. Civil War is decidedly lacking, which I intend to remedy as I continue playing). Now, there are three side missions and one story mission that appear on the map. Two of the side missions and the story mission are dated after Shiloh, but the third side mission ("Secure River") is dated 09/15/1861. Is this intentional? I thought that missions only appeared chronologically, so I wasn't sure.

EDIT: Just realised I don't know who's going to be reading this, so for the Americans out there, the dates above are Day/Month/Year, not Month/Day/Year.
