Official Medals and Awards German Division.

...Division Name...


Iron Cross – Each Officer gets ONE (1) recommendation each battle. That gives 7 IC's each Battle per Division (generous at just under 10%). This individual may NOT be currently recommended for the GC or WM.

NOTE Senior NCOs are able to post a recommendation to their COs if no COs were in the server at the giving time of the deed; the CO isn’t eligible to use that Recommendation.

Qualifications : (Officer recommendation)

This award is entirely subjective and requires no statistical performance to any degree in making this decision. A CO or above wanting to award this should take into consideration the player's overall performance for the battle.

Description :
Iron Cross 2nd Class (IC2)
Iron Cross 1st Class (IC1)
Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross (KCIC)
KCIC with Oak Leaves (KCICo)
KCIC with Oak Leaves & Swords (KCICos)
KCIC with Oak Leaves, Swords, & Diamonds (KCICosd)
KCIC with Gold Oak Leaves, Swords, & Diamonds (KCICtop)

You may say there are too many levels...but in one army in BFE 2, one person was awarded 4 IC2’s. He should have been awarded IC2, then IC1, then KCIC, ending with the KCIC with Oak Leaves. And we only fought 6 battles for the whole campaign. Here, we will be fighting 12. So it isn't unrealistic to have many people with multiple awards.

What To Do
Post your recommend, along with a reason for the recommend (we want to post the reason publicly in the recipient's forum so all can see), in the Thread that will be started for this purpose.
