filling in some entries in the xdp file, can anybody tell me what the exact dates are for the eto time periods, so at what date do those time periods start and at what date do they end?
 
You really want the exact date? For current purposes ERA 1 ends with BoF, Era 2 from July '40 to end '42. So basically Era 2 is after defeat of France.
 
If it's of any use, when I created my alternate splash screens for ETO (downloadable from CFS 3 Other Add-Ons - Flags and Screens), I figured them as:

1. The Spanish Civil War to the Fall of France - July 1936 to June 1940
2. The Battle of Britain and the Channel Front - July 1940 to December 1942
3. Bombers Over the Reich - January 1943 to May 1944
4. Normandy to the Rhine - June 1944 to November 1944
5. The Battle of the Bulge to VE Day - December 1944 to May 1945

The split between eras 2 and 3 is certainly the most arbitrary!
 
thanks...... so i was wrong in my own assumptions, but as it turns out the dates i was setting in the xdp files are all well within the margins (and more or less historically correct) will keep the december 1942 mark in mind
