Our annual wargames' show is on the weekend. AZW with 3 column commanders competing to relieve Rorke's Drift. The entire Zulu army is there, on auto-pilot.
I had thought of a mock award to the winner. Obviously not a "real" medal (eg the VC) which would be offensive but something in the parody line. ....The DDC (Dirty Double Cross) or the Chelmsford Cross for double-crossing your subordinates etc. I'll make some sort of medallion & hang it on a ribbon.
I'm open to your wit and suggestions.

I'm going with the O.I.E. - Order of Imperial Ineptitude. This award was created by Lord Chelmsford who was also the first recipient. And the O.F. -- Order of the Fox, Given to mark the worthy recipient's complete untrustworthiness.
I've mocked up the two medals & at the end of each day's gaming, I'll award it one of the 3 players.

Re: Parody award/medal
Donald why not the "Light brigade medal" awarded to those of no tactical ability and a total disregarded for military tactics.
Or" He's a good chap medal" awarded to the right sort of officer, right club membership, father owns a country seat, mixes in the right circle, drinks champagne for breakfast and no idea of military tactics. Leadership is all about being a top chap, "what ho Martha".
