The boys of the 7th Armored Division, including Sgt. John Davis, Cpt. Price, and Pvt. MacGregor are assaulting a German ammunition depot in northern Egypt near El Alamein. To reach the depot they must fight their way through trenches and clearing enemy bunkers. Once they reach the depot they destroy numerous ammo caches and fuel barrels. After destroying the depot they clear one last enemy bunker to retrieve some enemy intelligence. After this they meet up outside the bunker and prepare to move to a nearby town, where their allies are being met with heavy resistance. They move to the town in trucks and combat enemy presence. The Germans launch multiple counterattacks, but to no avail. After that the Germans send in tanks, and Sgt. Davis is tasked with spotting the tanks for artillery strikes. The tanks are destroyed and all remaining Germans retreat. British crusader tanks arrive to reinforce the 7th Armored. Using these tanks as cover, the foot soldiers make their way across the desert, clearing tunnels and bunkers and taking out crews of Flak guns. After clearing the last bunker, the men move to take over a German Communications center to radio HQ and tell them they have completed their mission.

After their mission near El Alamein, the 7th Armored moves on to El Daba, Egypt. They move into the town in trucks, but are attacked by German aircraft. Once in the city, they meet heavy resistance and encounter multiple machine gun emplacements. Making their way through the town, they take out multiple Flak crews and use an enemy radio to call in air support. After this they continue fighting through the city to acquire some enemy intel. They grab the intel and celebrate by breaking out the wine.

Tank Commander David Welsh, also of the 7th Armored, is in Libya in 1943. The Fox and Baker companies make their way through the desert, encountering open terrain, cliffs, and villages. They destroy many German Panzer tanks, Flak 88 guns, and kill many German infantry, taking minimal casualties themselves.

Sgt. Davis, Cpt. Price, Pvt. MacGregor become pinned down in a building in Toujane, Tunisia by an armored car. They exit out the back of the building, killing any Germans they encounter. In order to escape they commandeer the armored car. Pvt. MacGregor drives while Sgt. Davis mans the gun. They encounter tanks, troop trucks, and Panzerschrecks. The car stalls and is eventually rendered inoperable, so Sgt. Davis, Cpt. Price, and Pvt. MacGregor get out, meet up with more of the 7th Armored and extract from the town via troop transport truck. The next day they return with more reinforcements including multiple Crusader tanks. One of their tanks is destroyed early on and they make their way through Toujane, encountering heavy resistance including German tanks and machine guns. They disable multiple German Flak crews and then move to capture a mosque that is under enemy control. After they take the mosque the Germans launch a weak counterattack but are eliminated when more British tank support arrives. Three weeks later the boys of the 7th assault Matamata, Tunisia. They enter the town by truck but the truck crashes and they are forced out. They are ambushed by enemy troops, including Panzerschrecks. After killing these troops they advance through the town. They encounter more resistance and German fighters perform strafing runs against them. They request additional armor and infantry, but there is no initial response. They continue fighting, encountering multiple German machine gun emplacements including one on a half-track. The half-track retreats when the Brits receive tank support. Their tank, however, is quickly destroyed. They proceed through the town and eliminate any remaining German infantry. Sgt. Davis then takes control of a Flakvierling and destroys multiple incoming German fighter planes. After that they search the area for intel and prepare to move out.

Over a year after the mission in Matamata the 7th Armored Division is in France. Their mission is to rescue some American prisoners of war in Belot, near Caen. They first make their way through an orchard and into the town, encountering German resistance. They take heavy mortar fire and move to eliminate the mortar crews. When they find the POWs they take two Germans prisoner themselves. Realizing they have no way to transport the POWs, Cpt. Price sends Sgt. Davis and Pvt. MacGregor to go fetch a German truck he had seen earlier. They get the truck and drive it to the prisoners, encountering heavy German resistance, including a Tiger tank, which Sgt. Davis destroys with a Panzerschreck. Once they arrive at the POWs the Brits load them onto the truck.

After rescuing the POWs, the boys of the 7th move closer toward Caen, into the town of Anetoville. They are tasked with securing a crossroads so their convoy can advance into the town. They encounter a Tiger tank, but Sgt. Davis makes short work of it. Continuing through the town they clear multiple houses and encounter machine guns and half-tracks. Once they secure the crossroads, the Germans launch a strong counterattack. Just when it seems that the German tanks are going to prevail over the 7th Armored the Royal Air Force arrives and eliminates the German resistance. The Brits regroup at the crossroads, where their convoy is moving through. They move with the convoy closer toward Caen, into the town of St. Louet. They make their way through the town, encountering heavy resistance from a Tiger tank that destroys many of their Shermans. They clear multiple buildings and take out a Flak crew, finally taking a German field HQ.

The 7th Armored moves to Amaye sur Seulles, France, tasked with taking another field HQ. They take heavy mortar fire and proceed through the destroyed town to eliminate the mortar teams. After doing so they proceed to capture the field HQ. It is heavily defended with many German troops and MG42's. They manage to take the HQ but the Germans launch a heavy counterattack. The Brits radio command to request support, but they are told it will take some time. In the meantime the 7th Armored must defend the HQ from the Germans. The enemy counterattack includes a tank and a halftrack. Sgt. Davis takes them out and reinforcements arrive. Cpt. Price congratulates his men on their victory.
