Is this the Victoria Cross?

Close Combat: Gateway to Caen is the latest release in the critically-acclaimed Close Combat series and focuses on the largest, concentrated British offensive since the Normandy landings in an attempt to penetrate the German lines west of Caen and cross the Odon River to get the stalled advance moving again.

Good job huangxin74! I've yet to see one in the game, but your Asst. Leader Curtis performed well enough to receive one. What map was this battle on?

Campaign “OPERATION EPSOM”,DATE 28th

my 159 Brigade/11AD defended the map “ TOURMAUVILLE” against I./ss-Pz.Rgt.12/12.ss-Panzer.

When I viewed the German troops, I found a lot of Panzer tanks, so I removed a M10 and replaced a 17-pda AT.

I placed the 17-pda AT flanked to the German troops zone in small hedgerows on the map below,and ordered it to ambush.

The 17-pda AT destroied 3 panther tanks , after then it was found by German owing to my error operation.

A few motar shells were near hitting, the remaining tanks changed turret direction one by one......

So rapidly I clicked the“Truce”button .The 17-pda group was rescued and awarded a medal I didn't know.

The Support Platoon is the only platoon where you can select units for each slot. Unlike the AI which when selection gets thin will fill the slots with mortars, you can choose to not fill them.

In Cross of Iron there was a tool tip to identify the medals. Something else that was lost along the way? Or am I missing something?

Sounds like you clicked "truce" just in time then.

Nothing beats a good tank ambush.

Is there a place with all the names of the medals and what it takes to get them in-game?

There is not. The tooltip is a good idea however. Will keep that in mind for future versions.
