After learning about this great page I found out that my first account had no chance of obtaining all possible awards so... I started a new account with one goal in mind. Earn every award the game has to offer. Sounded like fun to me, and it still is. Started playing on any and all servers out there. 16,32,64 man servers. After about 30 rounds and having lost half of them I realized I needed a more controlled environment. The answer ?
16 man servers.
I am not in a clan and don't know people that play this game so I'm pretty much a lone wolf when it comes to playing BF2. This was definitely a hurdle but, I knew I was going to rip apart anyone that crossed my path so it did not prevent me from trying for that little bastard of a ribbon.
So off I went. Some nights winning 15 rounds in a row. All that was needed was 3 great players. Myself, and 2 guys that give more damage then they take. Joining servers that were finishing the round really killed my win/loss ratio but I got over it and played through.
Did I team switch ? Yes. I did about 5 times total and when I did it was because of people that would drive away from me as I was capping a flag and giving them orders to help me ! Some people don't want to win they just want to play. Fine. Nothing wrong with that but, holy crap did that S@#$ ever piss me off. I would change teams after the round if I could of just leave and take the loss.
Being an active commander really pissed some people off and I'm not sure why ? I was able to give out what people needed at there request no matter what I was doing. UAV,supplies,arty, I did it all while on the move.
Yes I agree a commander should camp to help his team but there is ONE exception. In 16 man servers you need all 8 players helping. I only earned 8 points one game as commander. No big deal right ? I KILLED 26 AND DIED 8 TIMES ! So don't tell me that's not teamwork.
So yea, I'm proud of my achievement.
So for all you people that think the war college ribbon is impossible to obtain, here is the proof that it can be done without being cheap. I earned my fairly and it was damn fun.

It is possible to obtain with a fresh account. 16 man servers are the key.
I played most of my 100+ hours on EA Official east coast servers. If your in a clan then it's that much easier.
Good luck to anyone trying to obtain it. I wear mine with pride.
