A new system and set of insignia for the Forum has been designed whereby a gold star is awarded for successful completion of a Battle Pack and a gold bar is awarded for successful completion of a smaller Map Pack. Successful completion is defined as winning each scenario at the Major Victory level. The braid can only be gained by those Generals who can successfully complete any gold star pack on Historical difficulty. Games must be played at Normal or any higher difficulty, and unfortunately, as it is too hard to ensure a level playing field, Custom difficulty is ineligible.
...three stars, three bars and braids...
Any of our current Generals can stay with their current avatars or transfer to the new system. At this time stars can be earned for Gettysburg (including ECF) and Antietam. The third Battle Pack that will be officially announced soon will also rate a star. A bar can be earned for completion of Pipe Creek and any future Map Packs that may be released.
Submit your zipped, victory laden scores file to stars (at) scourgeofwar (dot) com. For Gettysburg, the scores file is highscore.dat and for other packs it is custhighscore.dat.
Good Luck!
