All to often, if you're playing against a good player, at some point, the odds will be stacked in his favor. See, he can put all of his force to one side, forcing you to bring half of your force over. He can spearhead down the middle, and get into CC so you can't shoot, and he'll be ripping at your throat. So what do you do when you can't win?
First of all, minimize casualties, no matter what, if you can minimize casualties by even a fraction, DO IT. Soften the blow, because, it will hurt, but if enough of your men survive a counterattack is quite possible with reinforcements.
Second, analyze the entire battlefield. See, if he has more points than you in one battle, he's lacking somewhere else, see if you can strike a hammer blow. If not, then prepare to counterattack. Move your forces in such a way if at all possible that you catch your opponent all around, at least to look cool, and possibly prevent an avenue of retreat. If attacking directly means you can squeeze even just one more model in, do that, but if possible without minimizing the force of your blow, surround them.
Third, counterattack. Hit em hard, hit em back with as much force as possible.
Now, if you are faced with the fact, even if you counterattack, everyone there is still going to get wiped out, DON'T counterattack. Just pull back, and strike that hammer blow from before. If that's not possible either, just bolster your defenses elsewhere, and pray that your men can shoot down your attackers with their fire superiority.
