The campaign is based on the combat chronicle of the Big Red One (First Infantry Division of the United States) their trial by fire is first seen at Kasserine where they engaged in heavy combat against Rommel's Afrika Korps, from there they strike at Gela and the deadly hilltop fighting in Sicily, they then move to England to prepare for the invasion of Normandy striking Omaha Beach with heavy casualties... despite their slow progress, they were tasked with wideing the Caumont gap allowing the British 7th Armored Division to flank through to Villers-Bocage. A month later they would once again be called to be the FIRST into an offensive to breakout of the hedgerows of Normandy during Operation Cobra, bypassing Paris they arrive in Mons, Belgium where they trap 6 German Divisions attempting to escape France. Once again the 1st Division is FIRST to capture the first German city of Aachen, before moving into the dreaded Hürtgen Forest. After months of fighting the 1st Division arrives at Camp Elsenborn where they hope to catch some R&R, but instead the Germans launch Operation Wacht Am Rhein which forces the 1st Division to hunt down German Paratroopers during Operation Stosser, before counter attacking the Germans during the Battle of the Bulge. By February 1945 the 1st Division is once again poised against the Hürtgen Forest but breaks through just in time for the offensive across the Roer river. Reaching the heart of Germany the 1st Division finally reaches the Harz Mountains in Central Germany where they are tasked of clearing Die Hard Fanatics only for them to end the war in Czechslovakia.
In Total the 1st Division has accumulated over 20,000 battle casualties, capturing over 100,000 prisoners, in combat for 825 Days.
