Company of Heroes is set during World War II where the
player follows a fictional military unit, known as Able Company, as they
fight their way through some of the greatest and bloodiest battles of
World War II in the European theatre, including the D-Day landings at
Normandy.
The developers took quite a lot of "creative liberties"
with level design so that missions would fit comfortably with the
gameplay. For example, Able Company landed at Omaha with the 29th Infantry
Division, yet was inexplicably transferred to the Advance from Utah Beach,
with the 90th Infantry Division.
Also, the members of Fox Company (another company in the
game) and Able Company referred to the other companies as though they were
the only Fox and Able Companies in the US Army - in fact, "Able" and "Fox"
Companies were present in every Regiment in Normandy - as "Able" and "Fox"
were Joint Army/Naval Phonetic Code for "A" and "F"
