We played a huge game of RoE on Saturday, and these were our orders:

"...capture with the haste the village of Cairon on the main road D22 to Caen. Upon successful completion of your primary objective, you must clear the village of all enemy forces and hold the road open. Establish your headquarters in the hotel and send out scouts towards Buron. Hold the roads and village against counter-attack until we can reinforce.

Elements of the 12th SS Panzer Division have fortified the village so you can expect stiff resistance. On your left flank is the North Nova Scotia Highlanders who will be taking an alternative route towards Buron. I cannot stress how important it has now become to open the roads to Caen and beyond. 

We cannot rely upon naval support due to the number of civilians reported to remain within the village and neighbouring farms. We are promised armoured support from a regiment of the British 5th RTR, though I have heard that they are making slow progress towards our location."
