The good news? World first (lol) Knight's Cross with Gold Oak Leaves, Swords, and Diamonds.

The bad news? It was awarded posthumously and was only received by next of kin.

If the Russians had that many IS-IIs at the end of the war I think western Europe may have the ruble as its currency now.

What? I thought the EC was ruble with the fall of the Greeks.

Kerensky, what scenario/difficulty level did you achieve this in?

Kerensky · Post by **Kerensky** » Tue Jul 05, 2011 3:35 am

Started a 1939 campaign with Manstein setting. I intentionally 'lost' Moscow 43 to get to Bagration(minor victory actually brings the campaign to an end). I also kept a save anchor there so I can still go to USA alternatively after I try this campaign path.

Wow, congrats on the accomplishment! Too bad the crew didn't live to see the award ceremony...

Well, posthumous awards were something that was quite usual - especially in USRR

.
When there would be USRR campaign in future, medals should be given after the unit is destroyed
