Citations will be posted here.
Citations can be earned by distinguishing yourself in combat. There are also a few citations that can be awarded for OOC distinction.
NOTE: Many of these decorations come in classes (usually 1st - 3rd). Unlike in the U.S. or German system, a lower class does not mean that a deed was less meritous. The system is based on rank. For example, a private can never get the Order of Kutuzov in 1st Class because he does not command an Army; a General can never get it in 3rd Class.
