=A. Plan of the Investigation (100-150 Words) Tips]=

This investigation focuses on the D-Day Landings and how the events surrounding Operation Overlord are depicted in the PC game 'Company of Heroes.' By evaluating the values and limitations of 'Company of Heroes,' in contrast with other sources, such as archives from 'The Times' newspaper, the Headquarters 1st Infantry Division Diary of Operations and 'The Longest Day' by Cornelius Ryan among others, I seek to analyse whether this PC game would be useful to portray D-Day to the historian studying the topic.

I have divided my analysis section into four subsections. The first focuses on the significance of the topic, then and today; the second section focuses on th development of the operation; the third section focuses on the forces present during D-Day and the fourth section focuses on the armament.

The reason why I chose this type of analysis is that my passion for history began by playing historically based games.
