The
Blind Pew
Awarded for all those who take off in their
aircraft with all guns blazing. Extra cluster for those who do
it right at the start of the game, blow up the friendly aircraft
taking off ahead of them and then crash into the wreckage killing
themselves. |
The
Military Lemming Cross
For those who repeatedly kill themselves
by trying to run down a steep slope instead of sliding down. |
The
'Womans Auxilliary Balloon Corps Award' (WABCA)
A lovely small bouquet of little pansies
wrapped around a shiny (but heavy) ball n'chain assembly. Given
to each aspiring member of the '20 Minuters Squadron' for the
extraordinary amount of time wasted waiting for a single aircraft
to respawn despite the fact the front is falling to pieces and
their comrades are being overwhelmed by the enemy. |
The
Distinguished Air Lemming
Awarded to those who put their bomb release
and eject button too close together on their joystick and are
seen to throw themselves from the aircraft instead of a dropping
the bomb.
Special mention should also go to those who accidentally press
the "use" key and thus remove themselves from the aircarft
while airborne. |
The
Crispy Speckled Jim
Awarded for stunning aviational incompetence
where the pilot manages to blow themselves up on their own bombs,
normally by banking as the bomb is released and without any intervention
by enemy forces. |
The
George
(also known as the gorgeous Georgina)- a
flashingly bright and sunny looking medallion that shouts “Cambridge!”-
awarded each game to the most ENTHUSIASTIC player. “Last
one out of the bunker” and all that.
This is not actually a display of stupidity unless they persist
upon doing it until their own side turn on them to shut them
up!. |
Melchett
Armoured Division (Reserves)
Naturally the WABCA has its cousin for the
armour corps campers, the members of the rear echelon Melchett
Armoured Divison (MAD). This award is simply a cluster of daisies
wrapped around a shiny (but heavy) ball n'chain assembly given
out to each MAD member who waits the whole game in a team’s
rear base patiently playing croquet while sipping champers and
awaiting the arrival of a tank. |
The
Order of the Rear Entry Carrot with Mallet
This is the flip side of the George award,
where an individual's keen sense of urgency to see action is exceeded
(by a long way) only by their complete stupidity.
Created in honour of a panzer driver in Market Garden, who on
spotting two Kubelwagons ahead of him racing to take the Stonebridge
flag before the allies got it, chose to blow both Kubalwagons
up so that he could get the flag. Was then too slow getting there
and blew himself up on the freshly dropped allied mines. |
The
Mustachioed Melchett Mayhem Medallion
Awarded
to the team that loses control of their main base at least eleven
times during a single round |
