So how do you determine who gets that purple heart?

Especially if EVERYONE (or just about everyone) becomes highlighted once you pick up the medal?

For that matter, ANY medal (Navy Cross, etc) when TONS of your people light up for it?

Damn, I hate paperwork..........

Well when it comes to medals in general I sort of roleplay it.

After all it doesent make a tremdous amount of difference as to game play.

Ranking officers get them first.

Then its whomever contributed the most to the mission, lookouts, torpedo room folks, sonar / sound stack, etc.

Yeah, but that's what makes it a "rough" decision - I've got the best crew in this man's navy.

Repairs are done double time (even when, on an earlier mission I thought I was ready for the big save-game file in the sky, my DC team managed to pull my fat out of the fire (or deep, as it were), my gun crew can pick a fly off your hat at 20 yards, deck gun crew seems to be able to load and fire faster than anyone out there, so yeah, there's a lot of good cheer for everyone.

That's what makes it hard to determine who gets and who doesn't. We're all a buncha deadly seadogs.

Pin it on Bernard and go on to the next mission!

Zayphod, are you saying everyone on your sub was wounded? If that's the case, then they would all get the Purple Heart.

That's what should happen, but I think the game treats the Purple Heart like it's a discretionary medal to be awarded to whomever the captain sees fit.
