Medals

[applestrudel]

What is your policy on medals my great uncle was killed in Stalingrad and I wanted to portray him with a wound badge and a eastern front service medal would this be acceptable?

I was also wondering about this. For our mid-west games will there be any future policies on ranks, decorations, and other medals? I thought one good way to do it would be for a list of all possible medals and insignia to be put together and ranked according to their importance (i.e. HJ membership pin, Iron cross 1st class, wound badges, iron cross 2nd class, etc.). Then with each event, the person would be given a choice according to their level (the amount of games they have attended) and any special actions they undertook during combat. Once qualified, they would be able to have the option to go out and get the awards/decorations on their own (most likely repros). Keeping it at one or two (depending on the actions taken and awards designated by the commanding officers) earned per game, it would allow for a diverse display of medlas/decorations and give players something to shoot for for each event. The idea here would be to have an orderly structure and to avoid having too many medals/decorations being awarded. Let me know. I would be willing to sit down and put together a more in depth description of the awards structure and ranking of each award for both the Wehrmacht and SS.
