How should the date be written in Archon 1.5e? The instruction say "DD-MON-YY", but when i write "08-10-16" or "08-OCT-16", it corrects me to "16- okt 08", which give me the funny due date 24- okt 08. If I write anything else I get error. "My strategy? Luck is my strategy, of course."

In your case, it's YYYY-MM-DD, so you should write 2016-10-08 or 16-10-08. Prince of Paris, France Ratings Coordinator, Rules Director

Then I guess it´s a good idea removing the instruction to write it DD-MON-YY in the next version. "My strategy? Luck is my strategy, of course."
