| Post subject: | Medals - British still catching up |
Gentlemen, on behalf of the Award Center, it is my pleasure to announce that His Britannic Majesty and the Continental Congress, in joint action <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>, have seen fit to bestow the following battlefield and campaign medals upon the following heroes of the war: Colonial: Brig. Gen. Garry Cope - Campaign Medal 1812, Bladensburg Lt. Col. Rich Hamilton - Campaign Medal 1812 Maj. Mike Cox - Lundy's Lane Capt. Dwight Conlan - Burlington Heights British: Lt. Col. Stefan Reuter - Campaign Medal 1812, Sackett's Harbour Ens. Terry Lubka - First Saratoga, Bladensburg Cpl. Rob Hamper - Queenston Heights Cpl. David Vuyadinov - Bladensburg My congratulations for all recipients! <img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle> For those interested in statistics, with these awards the gap between the British and the Colonial side has shrunk to a single award (111:110 in the Colonial favor). Especially for the War of 1812, the British are catching up, while they are defending their lead in the Revolution. Still, while the British excel in individual 1776 battles, the Gentlemen on the Colonial side keep winning more campaigns (1776 as well as 1812). (Details are available from the statistics page at the Award Center.) <font color=gold>Lt. Col. D.S. Walter O.S.M. 4th Regiment "King's Own" AdC, Royal North American Corps</font id=gold> |

There you have it, better to lose a battle and win a war. Seems like the Brits are suffering from the German WWI & WWII syndrome! hehehe... Major Al Amos 1st U.S. Dragoons 1812-R |

I believe you shortchanged us. I won an 1812 campaign versus Ernie this month. I even did a little dance....a war dance..... <img src="http://www.choctaws1.homestead.com/files/kokomove.gif" border=0> Mingoe "High Head" Rodes Okla Hannali Choctaws 1812 American Army Irregulars |

If it was the full war campaign, please contact Lt. Col. Reuter. He keeps the records. <font color=gold>Lt. Col. D.S. Walter O.S.M. 4th Regiment "King's Own" AdC, Royal North American Corps</font id=gold> |

I tried, but Bladensburg was just to tough for me. MANGO chewed me up very badly. For some reason, those colonials stood their ground and my flanking attacks were repulsed, easily. <b><font color=gold>Ernie Sands Col, 3rd East Kent,CCC President, Colonial Camp Club Col,1 Konig,VIII,AdR BG,CO XXIII Corps AoO Sch,183Inf,VIII,PzC Pvt B Co, 3/3-MBC </b></font id=gold> |
