This is why, for those wanting historical medal and badge availability, it is recommended that they solely use SH3Cmdr to award medals and badges. Otherwise they'll have a crew of guys running around with clasps, German Crosses and U-boat badges in September 1939! If players don't want to observe historical availability, then they can continue to award through SH3 and ignore SH3Cmdr's subsequent suggestions.

I do use SH3 Commander, but in spite of this line (2=**This crewman has been awarded a U-Boat Front Clasp, however, the clasp was not established until 15 May 1944. [02]) in the Sh3 Commander files, I received the Front Clasp in 1940!
SH3 Commander allows me to remove this medal from my crew if awarded too early, but not (as far as I can see) from my own career file.
Is there a way to change the award dates in the files, to ensure this medal is not awarded to me before the historical date?

In the SH3 folder (path: ProgramFiles/SH3/Data/CFG/Medals)I find the following:

[AWARDED_MEDAL_0]
Idx=0
Cantity=1

[AWARDED_MEDAL_1]
Idx=1
Cantity=2

[AWARDED_MEDAL_2]
Idx=2
Cantity=0

[AWARDED_MEDAL_3]
Idx=3
Cantity=0

[AWARDED_MEDAL_4]
Idx=4
Cantity=20

and

[MEDAL_0]
Idx=0
Cantity=1

[MEDAL_1]
Idx=1
Cantity=2

[MEDAL_2]
Idx=2
Cantity=0

[MEDAL_3]
Idx=3
Cantity=0

[MEDAL_4]
Idx=4
Cantity=20


etc., but I don't understand enough about CFG [Idx? Cantity?] to know if changing anything there would help.

Any ideas?
