Well - there you go, release the game and someone finds a bug that must have been there since we released the original DOS game in 2002 http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif!.

Checks the DOS game - Nope http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif! - that has end dates beyond 2000, so something went wrong in there somewhere, and playtesting missed it.

First bug on the bug list.

Yep

I had fooled myself too, as the default 3 opponent nations has a short-timer nation within it (East Germany), the clock will refuse to advance beyond that nation's end date.
(And West Germany is short-time as well. I made the mistake of choosing them as an opponent in a UK versus NATO "training exercise" LC in the early 50's forgeting they start off as a border guard force http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Not a bug - and it is something mentioned in the manual anyway, but even I forgot about it for 5 minutes http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
