==Trivia==
This map involves many references to the real operation Neptune:
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
;Node A5
*This is an anti-installation/landing operation on the island of Guernsey; a strategic location on the Channel Islands. This operation occurred simultaneously with the D-Day Invasion

;Nodes B3 & B4
*This is ASW Sweep around Jersey Island and Saint Malo's Fort de la Conchée; both of which were occupied by Germans and then liberated during the Invasion of Normandy

;Node C3
*Node C3 is in Poole located in Southern England. Poole is the 3rd Largest Embarkation Point during the D-Day Landings. Ships and munition ships came here to resupply and head to the Beaches

;Phase 1
*The reason why a TP phase is the first phase is based on the fact that during the Omaha landings, the first wave was made up of mostly Combat Engineers tasked with clearing the beaches for the landing crafts, Sherman DD's, and LSTs. Sadly most of these units suffered heavy casualties but it is thanks to their sacrifice in clearing the beaches and barbed wires that the succeeding waves were able to land and push in.

;Phase 2
*The 2nd phase being an HP phase might be a reference to the fact that it was via the Second Wave and succeeding waves of landings that the American Elements were able to damage and take over the installations and bunkers at Omaha and Pointe du Hoc

;Phase 4
*Is a reference to the joint effort to secure and land more transports and armored units on the 3 beaches as they were secured much earlier compared to the difficult fight at Omaha. Some armored divisions managed to reach close to Caen on the first day alone.

;Node U
*Is near Dieppe which was the site of a major Allied landing on mainland Europe during WW2. Sadly it was a military disaster and the landing forces (mainly Canadian) were all defeated.

;Phase 5
*The Boss fight is located at Calais which is the shortest crossing from the UK to Mainland Europe as well as what the Germans suspected as the landing site for the Allied invasion of Europe. This is the location of the diversion and part of Operation Fortitude which was an Allied effort to confuse the Germans.

;LBAS
*The land base is in the Dorchester Area, which during WW2 was where was RAF Warmwell. It was originally an RAF Base but was then relegated to USAAF mainly from March 1944 and then returned to RAF use in 1946.

;Startpoint 3
*This is Portsmouth which was one of the launch points for the fleet. 

;Startpoint 1
*Off the coast of Plymouth, this was the main marshaling point/rally point of the South West Divisions heading into Normandy, Channel Islands, and South West France.

;Startpoint 2
*This is around the area of Dover, Ramsgate, and St. Margaret's Bay. St. Margaret's Bay was part of Operation Fortitude which encompassed the deception plan to make the Germans think it was a launch point for the invasion of Calais. Ramsgate is another D-Day launch point on the Southeastern tip of England.
