SPWW2 follows the historical pattern of WW2, and current behavior is that if you try to set up a September 1940 UK v German scenario, initially it appears to work; but when you try to generate a custom map or buy units in the scenario editor, the date automatically jumps forward to February 1941 (the opening of the war in North Africa from the British perspective).

To get around that in order to set up an accurate SEA PINNIPED scenario in the scenario editor.

1.) Start a GER vs UK scenario in JUN 1940.

2.) Enter the BUY menu for each side to get the HQs.

3.) Change the Sides to RED vs BLUE scenario and the date to SEP 1940.

4.) For each side, hit BUY ALLIES and buy the equipment for that period from the UK or Germany.

4A.) If you wish to include the British Home Guard; flip the scenario date ahead to NOV 1940; and you will be able to buy the HOME GUARD in the MISC section.

5.) Change the Sides to UK vs GER. Note how the date timer jumps to FEB 1941.

6.) (If needed) Pay attention to the map sides assigned to each player, sometimes they swap!

7.) Save the Scenario in the Scenario Editor.

8.) In ScenHack (you did pay for SPWW2, didn't you?), change the scenario date to SEP 1940 and save it there.
