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.)

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.
