  1. Lance-Corporal
  2. Corporal
  3. Sergeant
  4. Quartermaster
  5. Lieutenant
  6. Captain
  7. Major
  8. Colonel
  9. Brigadier
  10. General
  11. Field-Marshal

You can earn a maximum of 3 Mission Merit per mission.

There are two categories, granting 3 Merit each, evaluated at the end of every mission:

  • Mission Time: Time it takes to complete the mission.
  • Sustained Damage: Damage your commmandos take during the mission

This two parametres will be used to calculate the final Mission Merit you'll earn:

Mission Merit = Floor[ (Mission Time + Sustained Damage) / 2 ]

In other words it will get the average result from both categories and remove the decimal part.

This Mission Merit will be added to the overall Merit of the player.
