Strange combat results

I already asked about this on Steam and got a reply, thank you. But on Steam, I couldn't figure out how to attach a screenshot, and without one, it's not very clear what I'm asking. So I apologize for bringing this up again. It seems to me like a bug, but maybe I misunderstood something. Anyway, in the Assault on Tobruk scenario (and this has happened in other scenarios as well), 1 Italian battalion with only 6 attack strength and a -1 odds shift for quality managed to dislodge 3 British units from a fort, with a total defense of 74, while they were under a Hold order. Of course, if I set the order to Hold at all cost, the British won't retreat, but why should they have to abandon a favorable defensive position and retreat when they are attacked by a weak, low-quality battalion and are ordered to hold?
