Thanks "I'm going down", glad you read it. Probably could update the "High Realism" tutorial by now.

@Delta6, I noticed you mentioned the Pacific theater medal was awarded for "Extreme heroism". I'm assuming you're reading the written citation that goes along with the award. In the U.S. Medals Fix II mod (as well as TMO2) the citation reads "for extraordinary heroism". Now I know were mincing words here, but there is a difference.

One more point, the game doesn't allow for a differently worded citation to accompany the 6 different awards. The same worded citation is presented to all the different awards (including the Purple Heart). Wish we could tone down the verbiage for the lower tier awards, but what you have is what you get.

In an earlier post I mentioned we could have used the Navy Good Conduct Medal. There is a couple of other medals that could have been used, The WWII Victory Medal, or the American Campaign Medal. That's it! Unless you want to use The Congressional Medal of Honor as if it was awarded to several seaman on every boat that ever sailed, on each mission; that's the extent of the American medals of WWII that could be used for our game.
