witpqs: I really don't know why we got such a pop in VP today.

Some base with a high value multiplier suddenly got supply? Noumea is a possibility.

Looking at the numbers, it was his opponent that lost VPs, witpqs did not gain that many.
It would appear that some base suddenly went low on supply for his opponent.

Because I'm not fully caught up in the AAR, and I'd curious to see what surprises have occurred over the course of this game.

(And you can answer it this way:
1941 - event, etc.
1942 - event, etc.
1943 - event, etc.
1944 - event, etc.)

But if I read it right, Japan Base VP was 7089 both turns - unchanged. What am I missing?

One thing I can say is that if you add up the numbers that are supposed to equal the VPs, they do not add up to what is reported as the total VPs.

I think that the number shown for the Base VPs is the total without taking into account supply levels.
