The VC was introduced on 29 January 1856 by Queen Victoria to honour acts of valour during the Crimean War. These investitures are usually held at Buckingham Palace. Since the first awards were presented by Queen Victoria in 1857, two-thirds of all awards have been personally presented by the British monarch.

The cavalry are again independent units operating from behind, although I created this layout for late-game Great War (WW1) style battles, so I have planned to replace all cavalry with airplanes once they become available. I had planned to increase every army to at least 120,000 but even 90,000 is too much for supply limits in Alsace-Lorraine where my armies stand.
