Erm. One might venture to suggest that since the system is based on the d20 
set of rules, you may wish to at least purchase the Player's Handbook.

What do you mean by "Order Medals?" Are you talking like the British custom 
of awarding OBEs and suchlike?

AFAICT, medals are used to give you a bonus to see if you are awarded a 
promotion, and for in-game pride. They aren't magic items (though owning one 
that belonged to Patton or someone with a strong tie to "history" (such as 
it pertains to Weird Wars) might infuse it with a bonus).

As to the Officer class splatbook, I say Ick. Make one for the whole army, 
if you like (THAT might be kinda cool for someone like me who knows 
diddly/squat about how things work in the military services), but making a 
seperate book for Officers alone doesn't sound like something I'd buy.

Sure you don't want to rethink that? A lot of Japanese warding was done with 
a simple piece of consecrated rice paper with one symbol on it. The names 
and shapes might be different, but the general principle would be the same.
