Gotta be careful with those year cited events. Many, if not most, take place in less than a year's time. Example from history:
1927: Charles Lindbergh makes first successful transatlantic flight
The naive might interpret that it takes a year to fly across the Atlantic. :-D
The Lafayette campaign rules from the same book have six light years of FTL
movement per week.
Which is almost a lightyear a day.
Did I win?
Probably, since no one else came up with these yet. ;-) I don't know what Tomb has for you for a prize, though.
The_Beast?
You're not certain? ;-)
