I know this because the game has awarded me the front clasp after my last two completed patrols and I went into my kaleun's cfg files and removed it. Since I'm still playing in 1940 nobody on my boat should be getting it, lol. It didn't exist until 1944.

Sorry I can't remember offhand which line I edited. But there's a thread here somewhere or in the Mods forum where someone listed what line corresponds to which medal. When a medal is awarded the value on that line changes from -1 to a positive value. I just go in and change it back to -1 for the front clasp, and then reopen SH3 Commander and look at my personnel file to make sure it shows the right medals/badges.

If I live past May 15 1944 I'll happily accept the front clasp, but not until then.

I didnt know it was as late as 1944 for the UBoat clasp medal.
Anyway,thanks for that
