Oberst,

Your unit has performed beyond my expectations in holding off the Russian assault.  However there are even larger Russian formations heading for Zenica, even your elite unit would be crushed.  You are to pull back to the heights 4 miles west of Zenica immediately and hold position there until further notice.  We believe the heights to be clear of enemy troops.  You had best rest your men, I have another task for you tomorrow.
