Research Time - Who wins? You decide!

Tommy · 10-22-2012, 02:35 AM

Hey Guys,

I'm going to order a shiny piece of research and i can't decide which award to choose.

Help a brother out by voting!

Cheers,

Tom

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

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.

Which, I presumed, was the entire point of this exercise, the solicitation of subjectivity. . .

Right then, being subject to personal opinion you should have one of mine researched!

Tommy · 10-22-2012, 11:15 AM

Exactly,

I just wanted to see what peoples thoughts were. I like other peoples thoughts. They make more sense than my own.

Then there would be even more to choose from and my brain would explode!

Surprisingly few!
"Red Banner" X1
"Red Star" X41
"Patriotic War" II X1
"Glory" III X1
"For Bravery" X5
"For Combat Merits" X3
