Do Orders Supersede Everything?

The Climactic Scene from a War Movie.

You’re exhausted - waves of enemies have already broken against the bastion - but the General’s orders were clear: hold the line. But out of the gloom, cages of captives appear, being dragged inexorably towards the enemy lines. As you hold out for dawn, you ask yourselves, do orders supersede everything?

Developer notes: I haven't seen or thought of Saving Private Ryan for years - but for some reason it's what came to mind when I head "Different Priorities". I've always imagined (and probably misremembered!) the scene with the Tiger tank as like a boss fight - that's what I wanted to recreate here and I hope I've been successful!
