Date in long campaign

[Andy_ONeill]

I've been playing a long campaign for a while now.
I set it up for 200 games.
Still in july 1941 at the moment.
I'd quite like to move it along a few months.

The editor appears to let you change the date on a save game if you rename it to a scenario but it's ignored by the next game.

Is it possible, BTW to max out experience?
I hope it's not held in a tinyint (or equivalent).
I'm seriously thinking I could go over 255 for a number of my units by war's end.
