My choice would be the earlier RS, then the two Glories in chronological order, then the OPW2, then the MCs, and finally the 2nd RS.

Earlier OG3 should go first - You have a better chance of getting a story of true heroism. As much as I like ORSs, thay can be for almost anything. Same story with BMs

Re: Research Time - Who wins? You decide!
I say mix it up a bit. Like Forrest Gump's mother said, it's "like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get."
I would start with the Order of the Red Star, #1464657, then the Patriotic War, 2nd Class, #754071, then the Order of Glory in 3rd Class, #220907, then the Bravery Medals in chronological order, then the higher numbered Order of Glory, and then lastly the higher numbered Order of the Red Star, but that's just me. . . |

"Being an idiot is no box of chocolates" - What Gump's mother really said before Hollywood tainted it.
Random number generate 1-10 and you have the answer, anything else will be biased.

Tom,
There is a very decent chance that your ORS 3666016 is for Afghanistan Marc |

The closest Red Stars to this one that I have observed are for wounds (roughly -1.5k) and for the 50th anniversary of the October Revolution (roughly +1k), with Afghanistan awards +-3k (again roughly). I'm always up for researching late awards regardless of their "chances". But for a solid story I'd recommend either the OPW2 or the earlier ORS. Cheers, Alex |
