He must strive to eliminate the Croatian rearguards and exit at least 6 of his combatants off the western edge of the map as quickly as possible.
That the enemy will eventually break through the rearguard line is never in question, but if the rearguard can delay the enemy long enough, then a potentially disastrous enemy advance can be blunted by allowing other defensive forces to regroup and re-establish defences.
Other rearguard situations involve a signal to the rearguard from the main body indicating when to retreat, and still others have a prearranged time for retreat.

The player always may play a rearguard option, and never he needs to play a pitched chit, because his rearguard option may work like a pitched battle if he wish.
In other words, rearguard is not a additional option, is a new option that overrides the pitched option.

The armor God has supplied to His New Testament soldiers, does not provide for protection of the back of the warrior outside of the intercession of others (Ephesians 6:18).
This is also consistent with the armies of Old Testament Israel where the "glory of the Lord" was to be their rearguard (Isaiah 58:8).
For at that time they came to David day by day to help him until it was a great army like the army of God." Declare that the armies of Heaven and earth begin to agree.

 Plotinus [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
It is easy to see, however, that this virtue is simply the ability to remain, to an extent, unaffected by the negative intrusions upon the soul of the affections of material existence.
The highest Virtue consists, on the other hand, not in a rearguard defense, as it were, against the attack of violent emotions and disruptive desires, but rather in a positively active and engaged effort to regain one's forgotten divinity (I.2.6).
The highest virtue, then, is the preparation for the exercise of Dialectic, which is the tool of divine ordering wielded by the individual soul.

But for all their possession and ostensible domination of the match during this period, they never seriously troubled Stranraer's robust rearguard.
Andy Millen and Stewart Kean were restricted to long range efforts that flew over the crossbar or past the post, as it became clear that they were going to have to display a lot more imagination if a breakthrough was to come.

With Marvin Andrews now a Rangers player, last season’s CIS Cup winners fielded a new-look rearguard of Colin Meldrum, Oscar Rubio, Manu Dorado and Gus Bahoken, but the first half was marked by a failure to deal with penalty-box crosses.

 Deltoid: Vanguard or Rearguard?
I'm very impressed with scienceblogs.com - read the surgeon/scientist "respectful insolence" and you get a real sense of how the mainstream need to upgrade their medical reporting.
And yet at the same time, I see scienceblogs.com as a sort of rearguard action against a blitzkrieg of rubbish on the net rather than the vanguard of an expert army.
The "collective intelligence" of the blogosphere is nothing more than a virtual Maginot Line against bad information, which often begins in the mainstream press and, thanks to the immediate parasitical nature of blogging, invades and permanently occupies the Internet.
