The campaign opens with the first deployment of Hauptmann Voss' crew to the eastern front.With him are Radio Operator Deiter Berndt, Driver Luz Schroif, Loader Alfred Litzke, and Gunner Joseph Shultz. It wasn't until the spring of 1944 when they are redeployed to the Western Front, particularly France. After directing the bulk of his panzers to point 213, the "Stahlvormund" experienced engine trouble, when suddenly Voss gathered his attention on the advancing British column.

The campaign ends with Shultz promoted to Hauptmann to command the 502 Tigergruppe, in which Shultz and his forces were annihilated by the advancing Americans at Autry (Lt. Conti's Able Company). Whereas, in September, the remnants of the Panzer Lehr Division (Kampfgruppe Lehr in CoH Opposing Fronts) were redeployed to Holland to counter the allies in their Operation Market Garden with Voss taking command, being promoted to the rank of Majorgeneral. Voss realized that in the end, the fatherland had indeed fell apart, bringing end to the once glorious struggle.


Tiger Ace is based heavily on the actions of Michael Wittmann, a German tank commander who, in command of a Tiger Tank at the Battle of Villers-Bocage, ambushed elements of the 7th Armoured Division. Tiger Ace follows the disputed Nazi account of the battle, wherein Wittmann was credited with nearly 30 kills before being forced to abandon his tank, only to return shortly later in a new Tiger to finish the battle. Historical records dispute his return to the actual battle, but, nevertheless, he is credited with nearly 30 kills from the actual battle, making the game version very nearly realistic.[citation needed]
The second episode "Causeway" follows a company of paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne Division in the hours after the D-Day landings near the La Fiere causeway.
