You don't need to attack them, they will eventually die on their own. Without being at a base hex, they cannot be picked up by any trasport, nor can they be resupplied. I had some Dutch units that were forced into a non-base hex after the fall of their last base on Sumatra, the AI ignored them and after a couple of months they were no longer there.

I have been able to pick up troops via sub or fast transport in the past. It doesn't always work, and it's tough to keep a task force in the hex the troops are in, but it's possible. Generally if you make a new task force and move all the ships into it, it'll load the troops.

Land units, if cought in non base hex, refuse to die, even when faced with overwhelming odds. I noticed this in couple games. I surround enemy unit, get huge odds of like 12:1, enemy unit has nowehere to retreat, but it won't die.

Screenshot below. I am Japanese in this game. I attack the Allied unit turn after turn, they won't die. They got nowehere to go, but they won't surrender or die.

Okay first and foremost I am NOT using 1.5x public beta, just a regular 1.50. I am posting here because I think this issue was not addressed in latest public betas, and I'd rather post here than on main board for reasons of clarity.
