Different American companies are portrayed, each assisting the invasion in its own fashion, from the infantrymen assaulting the beaches to the Airborne troops landing behind enemy lines, and finally the Armor Company making their break in-land. In their single-player campaign, we follow the American army's Invasion of Normandy, as it struggles to establish a beach-head and later break out into the French mainland. Their Command Trees also refrain from putting too much emphasis on either of these options, resulting in a faction that can easily adapt to the changing situation on the battlefield. Of course this also means that they excel at neither option, but rather strive to find the right balance between them. Overall, this faction combines good defense with good offense, concentrating on whichever is most important at the time. American Vehicles, though expensive, keep a very good balance between offensive firepower, mobility, and protection.

Thanks to their large number of fresh conscripts, American Infantry units are extremely cheap and easy to replace, thus forming the back-bone for their entire army. The Americans field a rather limited variety of units, but nonetheless have at least one unit for any battlefield role. The potent veterancy upgrades as well as actual equipment upgrades makes American infantry versatile, and superior to Axis variants in the late game. American soldiers also learn quickly, as they have the most potent veterancy bonuses in the game. Their massive war machine fuels the invasion of Nazi-Occupied Europe, bringing with it enough fresh manpower and firepower to relieve the Wehrmacht of its earlier conquests.Īmerican soldiers may not be the most experienced, but they are highly motivated and outnumber their enemy and enjoy the virtually endless supply of equipment, weapons and assets brought over the massive convoys traveling daily across the Atlantic Ocean.

The United States is one of the Allied factions in Company of Heroes.
