If your fighting in a hex which does not contain a base and the enemy have no retreat path then odds of 100's:1 will not cause them to retreat or surrender

Or the massively outnumbered troops are Japanese.

Basically, the only forces that will retreat/surrender they way you would expect all troops to are Allied forces in bases.

I've had odds of well over 200-1 trying to defeat Japanese base defenders and they still don't budge. You just have to keep hitting them until they finally decide to retreat.

Status: offline 		remember that the modified combat odds don't directly represent the current state of the LCU in terms of damage, so 100:1 or 200:1 odds, if the unit has not reached the critical point of damage where it disintegrates, it will hold out. Keep an eye on the final adjusted defense value. Thats a better indicator.
