This title draws inspiration in some respects from the series Band of Brothers (2001). The title is in fact a direct quote from Richard D. Winters : "I cherish the memories of a question my grandson asked me the other day, when he said, 'Grandpa, were you a hero in the war?' Grandpa said, 'No, but I served in a company of heroes.'". The paratrooper unit also directly quotes from winters "we're paratroopers, we're supposed to be surrounded"
The U.S. airborne troops can be upgraded with M18 recoilless rifles, which was an anti-tank weapon issued to U.S. forces in the middle of 1945 while the first level to feature this optional upgrade is set in 1944.
