	You know, I wasn't going to reply to this posting, but this comment stopped
me in my tracks. So, what your are trying to tell me is this:

	I don't like XYZ. I haven't bothered to read or find out about XYZ,
therefore I don't know anything about it, but I do know that I don't like
XYZ."

	How about getting the basic books and reading them? It isn't the best of
all systems, but they did a lot of good work on it.

	Here is a sugestion, why not make your own list and table? It isn't that
hard. You probably know more about you countries medals than anyone on this
list, or even the game designers.

	I am sure you could do something like that. Remember this is a brand new
game. Much of the work of exploring the what's and how's is up to the
players and WM's.

>Secondarily how in game terms would it take to get an Order Metal,

	I don't even know what this is.

	Yes, there are many other "medals" available than what was on the list
given in the book. The list given in the book is medals for actions taken,
bravery and such. Many of the medals you are mentioning are medals are
location or profession medals. Those aren't technical terms, that is just
what I call them...for example every american soldier that was in the ETO
(eurpean theatre of operations) recieved a medal (I forgot its name.) Any
soldier that was an infantry rifleman got a CIB, Combat Infantry Badge.

	The purpose of the table with the medals in the book are these are special
medals given because an action the player has taken....not just because they
were at a certain place...or do a certain job.
