About this game

Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood presents its story as a reflection on events following D-Day, framed by interviews conducted by Army historian Colonel S.L.A. Marshall more than 15 days after the invasion.

The campaign is divided into three parts. It begins with Hartsock serving under Sergeant Matt Baker during the initial invasion, continues with his command of 2nd Squad, 3rd Platoon during the liberation and defense of Carentan and the link-up at Baupte, and concludes around Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte.

Players command several airborne soldiers, including Desola, Allen, Garnett, and later the full 2nd Squad. The game also places players in command of Corporal Seamus Doyle of the 82nd Airborne during the early D-Day missions.
