Maybe you're right. You should get ALL the ones I have here researched first. I certainly can't afford it.

All the awards I've posted in the "researchers'" section have all been done by myself with "the site". Hopefully I'll be able to get a few more done before the year is out. Even found 2 more "new" ones last night.

Tom,

There is a very decent chance that your ORS 3666016 is for Afghanistan :thumbsup

Fingers crossed Marc!

Surprisingly, the majority of votes have gone to BM 2.68 million so far! I wasn't expecting that!

I don't get that, either. Unless 8 somebodies know something the rest of us don't it's some sort of glitch. And no one has posted in the thread about it....

Just watch it be to a commander of a blocking unit!

Although if I researched it it'd probably be for maintaining the portable latrine "under enemy fire".

Marc, what do you consider a "very decent chance" percentage-wise? Do you have any nearby data to back that up? This is by no means a challenge, just wondering. In my experience with late Red Stars, I've found that "very decent chance" means "totally arbitrary" Big Grin

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

I'd have gone 1969 Wounds for RS 3.66 Million.

Guys,

Later ORS usually do not go in big batches, and can be completely intertwined between issues.
Anyway, ORS 3665859 was issued 18.02.1985 for Afghanistan, so it is a fairly good shot.

I might have to rethink my #3667488 then.
