Medal of Honor: Allied Assault follows Lieutenant Mike Powell from Arzew in Algeria and Trondheim in Norway to the D-Day landing on Omaha Beach, then on to Carentan and Brest in France.
This route pins the real places named in the single-player plot. The game's own levels are not mapped to exact sites, so most stops are approximate.
Company of Heroes is set in Normandy in 1944, from Omaha Beach and Carentan to Cherbourg, Saint-Lô, Mortain and Chambois. Its Able Company missions follow real battles of the Normandy campaign.
The route follows the game's single-player story in order, pairing each mission with what the real fight there looked like. The game simplifies events.
