  OPORDER FOR: Panzer Grenadier Regiment 25, 12 SS Panzer Division
               7 JUNE 1944  Northwest of Caen

                             1.  SITUATION
a) FRIENDLY:  The 716th Infantrie Division defending the beaches has 
   been smashed.  The attack by the 21st Panzer Division on our right has 
   been halted. There are no friendly forces on our left flank. The rest
   of the 12 SS Panzer Division is south of Caen delayed by lack of fuel.
b) ENEMY:  The Allies have landed all along the Normandy coast. British 
   and Canadian forces are attacking in our sector. Stragglers from the 
   716th Infantry Division report large tank-infantry forces advancing on 
   Caen and Carpiquet Airfield.
c) WEATHER:  Clear and warm. 
d) TERRAIN: Low undulating hills with farmland, numerous orchards, small 
   farming villages and tree-lined roads.
e) ATTACHMENTS:  5th, 6th, and 7th Kompanies, 12 SS Panzer Regiment
                 III Abteilung, 12 SS Panzer Artillery Regiment
f) DETACHMENTS:  1st Battalion, Panzer Grenadier Regiment 25

                              2.  MISSION
Prevent enemy forces from capturing CARPIQUET AIRFIELD and advancing south
(off left map edge).  Capture les BUISSONS and advance north (off right
map edge) to Allied controlled beaches.

                             3.  EXECUTION
3rd Battalion will lead attack and destroy enemy forces around AUTHIE.
When 3rd and 2nd Battalions are in line, both units shall advance north.
A rapid advance is essential in order to disrupt Allied follow-on forces.

                          4.  SERVICE SUPPORT
Units initially carry normal ammo basic load.  Conservation of ammunition 
is critical as Allied air attacks are disrupting friendly supply columns.

                         5.  COMMAND AND SIGNAL
Normal command delays are in effect.  Regimental HQ located at ABBEY
d'ARDENNE.

Special Note:
The light red lines on the map are bocage hexrows.  Bocage normally
blocks the LOS, and will always prohibit movement (if not breached).
