Working with events, how?

I'm currently going thru McBrides "Braunschweig" scenario to fix some minor things here and there.

First a question for the veterans, did the old ACOW have a limit(100 VP) in giving VP over an event to a player?
I see here only VP events giving 100VP even if the event should give 200 or 500VP, in such cases there are 2 or more events each triggering the next and each giving only 100VP to the player to sum up too 200 or 500VPs.


And now how do I work with events in regards of keeping the overview?
In TOAW they or only in a simple list and one scrolls his hand of to follow the event chain, I thought about maybe putting these events in Excel and form some kind of event "Tree" to see what events connect to each other, does someone know a better why of getting on overview over the events?

I don't recall if the old ACOW had a limit on VPs.  My scenario events always dealt with VP awards of less than 10.

The scenario design aid tool, ODD, has an event simulator in which you can load your events and get feedback on which events are firing.  However, it won't do the "tree view" you're looking for.

TOAWIII scenario viewer shows events. Check to see if it helps.

I'll try both, where can I get the latest ODD version?

Yes, there was a limit of 100 VPs. But there was a workaround - apparently Daniel didn't know about it. The limit now is 9999.
