TeAcH Posted June 9, 2000 Share Posted June 9, 2000 Wouldn't it be cool if you could give out medals to specific units after a battle (assuming you are playing a campaign of course). The game could determine what medals you have available based on the battle and give you a selection OR could just assign medals to specific units on its own. Your panther takes out 3-4 (or more) Allied tanks, the game give it a small medal of some kind that is either shown in the unit info at the bottom of the screen or in the KILLS box. Your rifle company kills a large number of infantry, perhaps a bronze or silver star is shown. Purple hearts would appear after a battle to a unit that had survivors in it. I think it would be a nice touch. I know this would not be high on the list of priorities if it was accepted, down the road as a patch or for CM2. Take care, TeAcH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juju Posted June 9, 2000 Share Posted June 9, 2000 Hi TeAcH! I like the idea. But only from a nostalgic cpu/board game-perspective. Since CM doesn't have campaigns, and the operations probably won't last longer than a couple of days that wouldn't be very realistic IMO. Okay, some of your guys could be put up for a medal, but how long does it take for a soldier to actually receive such a thing? ------------------ Combat Axiom 46.

We eat trolls for breakfast And split their skulls for fun They never live to tell the tale And see the rising sun An old M.E.R.P ditty from my role play group... Just remembered that one... Don't know why... Ah, now I remember: Jokes about mamma, dildos and gas chambers in one single sentence are NOT my idea of fun! ------------------ Combat Axiom 46.

TeAcH Posted June 9, 2000 Author Share Posted June 9, 2000 I see your point Juju. I guess I didn't understand how long units would be around and you make a good point that we arent likely to see award ceremonies between conflicts.

Lorak Posted June 9, 2000 Share Posted June 9, 2000 I've got a question that is sort of related, but in reverse. During an operation, If you have a vet squad or a regular squad take high casualities, say 50%. When the next battle begins and you get your replacments would they drop down to green status, ect..? Just wondering Lorak ------------------ http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/combatmissionclub Lorak's FTX for CM <--Proud member of the Combat Mission Webring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juju Posted June 9, 2000 Share Posted June 9, 2000 Ouch! Not a good prospect, if that turns out to be true. On the other hand, surely not all replacements are green troops, are they? I don't suppose we get to divide replacements ourselves, would we? Nah... ------------------ Combat Axiom 46. Do unto others, before they do unto you.
