Biography[]
Ramsey takes part in the landing on Omaha Beach, Normandy. After landing, Ramsey gives the order to find mines. After finding the lost item, the captain's men blow up the trenches and move to the bunker wall. Most are killed, only He, Mike Powell, Webber, and Jefferson survive. Ramsey covers and orders his men to move on to the next trenches. Only Powell survives this ordeal. The captain joins him and tells him to take over the nearest bunker.
The next day, the captain and Lieutenant Powell went to the French countryside. Both victims went there in a jeep. Once they arrived, Ramsey ordered Powell to clean the house. After completely clearing the big building, Mike and Ramsey found a locked door. After both sides gave the password, the door opened and two paratroopers from the 101st appeared. The senior began to inform Ramsey about the current situation when suddenly he was hit by a bullet in the top of the head by a German sniper.
Then three soldiers had to defend the house against the German counterattack. After destroying the jeep, the three went in search of the Flak 88mm guns. On the way, they ran into the remains of an American convoy, which was ambushed by the Germans. After dealing with the opponents, the unit went to a nearby farm. There they encountered the surviving paratrooper from the 101st, Private Cobb. The four of them cleared the farm and found the radio on the corpse of Cobb's comrades. However, a moment later, the farm was attacked by German stormtroopers. After repelling the attack, the four returned to the main road to Bocage.
Powell destroyed the cannon by radio and the squad advanced. It turned out that there is another cannon nearby. However, before destroying the Flak 88mm, the unit had to destroy the anti-aircraft gun, which was a threat to the bomber. Ramsey and his men killed the Germans in the bunker adjacent to the anti-aircraft gun. Moments later, the cannon was destroyed. On the way to the main road, the unit was attacked by German stormtroopers. After dealing with the Nazis, the Americans managed to destroy the second and last cannon.
Then they were given the task of destroying the German cannons - the Nebelwerfrs. On the way, they met a detachment of two Allies. They turned out to be Sergeant Harrison and Private Tomblin. With their help, Ramsey and Powell destroyed the German positions in the town and the nearby church. At the very end of the road were the Nebelewerfry. The department went to work.

After clearing the train station, she sends him to free the prisoners from the fort. After completing the task, he praises Powell and tells him to destroy Fort Schmerzen, after which he and his men go to the transport. While escaping, minutes after the explosion, he opens the train doors and lets Powell inside. Together they watch as the fort is destroyed.
