Talk:Medal for Conspicuous Gallantry

Notes (2017)

This medal is more or less the equivalent of the modern US Armed Forces medal known as the Silver Star, or the British Conspicuous Gallantry Cross.

Question (2021)

The medal ribbons are usually unique to allow the ribbon to substitute for the medal. The use of plain blue, and red ribbons (the same as the MCUF) ensures that this doesn't work!

Perhaps, but the artwork that Bleddyn Wilson created for the medals (as pictured in the articles) are taken directly from the descriptions in GURPS Traveller: Ground Forces. One could perhaps argue that the ribbon on the Exemplary Service Cluster has a designation-pin on it saying "MCUFx2" or "MCGx1", for example, or some other marker pinned to the ribbon on the cluster to distinguish between MCUF and MCG. Alternatively, perhaps all the ribbons really need is a thin colored edge at each side-border that distinguishes an MCG ribbon (e.g. silver-white) from an MCUF ribbon (e.g. golden-bronze).

It gets better - The T5 artwork shows a completely different ribbon and medal set!
