Medals
Although not complete we thought we'd give you some information on how Medals are awarded for the British soldier. We've currently added 4 medals (this is to increase) which can be awarded in game.
Medals are worth collecting as a player's squad of AI take notice and will fight harder for a worthy commander.
Awarding Medals - One Example
Medals are awarded through specific action in game. Our previous news item described the impaled spear feature.
A soldier cannot fight and will die if a spear remains impaled, so a good commander will try to save those under his command. Therefore if a player can save a number of gravely wounded soldiers a medal is awarded.
