Tides of War not showing progress

FurHIther strangeness.....I remember on Tuesday that I was getting progress on some other challenges. Fine, but I didn't see the progress....until strangely today I saw that the first two or three challanges for THIS weeks TOW were already done....I then remembered that those were the challanges I saw progress on Tuesday!

So I was somehow progressing the wrong stuff, but not getting last weeks (1st November start) ToW end reward.

Very odd and frustrating for an old bloke like me.
