Editing Medal of Honor: Allied Assault (section)

==Plot==
Lieutenant James Powell, the protagonist, is a skilled [[U.S. Army Ranger]] and later an agent of the [[Office of Strategic Services]]. Powell and a squad of Rangers are in German-occupied [[Arzew]], [[French Algeria|Algeria]], fighting on the [[North African campaign|North African front]]. The squad fight their way into the city, but an ambush kills all the team except Powell. Hargrove continues into a German base, where he rescues [[Special Air Service|S.A.S.]] agent Major Jack Grillo and retrieves his equipment. The major and Lt. Powell split up, with Grillo securing transport, while Powell does sabotage in a motor pool. He links back up with Grillo, who has commandeered a jeep with a mounted machinegun. The two drive to a German airfield, where they successfully destroy the [[Messerschmitt Bf 109|Bf 109]] fighters and [[Junkers Ju 87|Stuka]] dive bombers grounded there. While Grillo distracts the German forces, Powell sneaks into a bunker, cuts off Axis radio contact and fights his way to a coastal lighthouse to signal the Allied fleet to begin [[Operation Torch]], the invasion of North Africa. He escapes with Grillo in a German transport truck.

Following the Allies' success in Africa, Powell and Grillo are sent to [[German occupation of Norway|German-occupied Norway]] to infiltrate the city of [[Trondheim]], where a [[Kriegsmarine]] [[U-boat]] is being outfitted with a prototype [[Naxos radar detector]]. Grillo makes it into the base first, but is killed in action by German guards while opening the front gate for Powell. Powell fights his way into the base, where he disguises himself as a German officer and infiltrates the loading dock. He goes to the lab where he destroys the Naxos prototype and gains access to a submarine intended to be fitted with the prototype and blows it up. He fights his way out of the base, where he is extracted by an Allied squad.

Thanks to Powell's efforts, the German U-boat threat is neutralized, clearing the way for the Allied invasion of Europe, [[Operation Overlord]]. Powell, as a part of the [[2nd Ranger Battalion (United States)|2nd Ranger Battalion]], is sent to Charlie sector of [[Omaha Beach]] under Capt. Ramsay, where he and his fellow Rangers storm the bunkers, despite taking heavy casualties, and secure the beach. He is sent into the countryside beyond the beaches to assist various American units who are being harassed by [[Nebelwerfer]]s.

Powell is assigned to go behind enemy lines and acquire intelligence on German troop movements. After rescuing a stranded British pilot Joe Baylor, Powell meets up with [[French Resistance]] member Manon Batiste (the protagonist of ''[[Medal of Honor: Underground]]''). She sends him out to conduct various acts of sabotage against the German war effort. He raids a [[manor house]] being used as a command post where he secures important enemy documents, including the blueprints for the new [[Tiger II|King Tiger tank]]. Powell escapes the manor house with Manon's aid.

Powell's next mission involves hijacking a [[Tiger II|King Tiger]] tank and using it to secure a vital bridge at the city of [[Brest, France|Brest]]. After navigating through the sniper-infested ruins, he meets up with the American tank crew chosen for the mission. Powell and the tank crew capture the King Tiger and use it to fight their way through the countryside. Upon reaching Brest, Powell provides cover for the King Tiger to protect the bridge, until reinforcements come to secure it.

Powell's final mission sends him to Fort Schmerzen, a German [[Sulfur mustard|mustard gas]]-producing facility that was previously raided by Lieutenant James Patterson (the main protagonist of ''[[Medal of Honor (1999 video game)|Medal of Honor]]'' as well as ''[[Medal of Honor: Frontline]]''), but has since been restored to operation, supposedly as a [[prisoner-of-war camp]], but is being used to produce mustard gas. Powell is parachuted into the woods, where he destroys some [[8.8 cm Flak 18/36/37/41|Flak]] guns that are shooting Allied planes. He infiltrates a weapons depot, and destroys a stockpile of [[StG 44]] assault rifles and destroys a German communications outpost, cutting off Fort Schmerzen's communications. Powell hijacks a freight train and along with a squad of US Rangers, uses it to reach Schmerzen. Upon arriving at Schmerzen, Powell and his fellow Rangers storm the fort and release all the prisoners. Powell fights his way into the lower levels of Schmerzen, where he discovers that the fort's mustard gas production facilities are still operational. He plants explosives on the gas facilities, and escapes just before Fort Schmerzen is destroyed.
