Just checked that you can use the 'W' key to re-assign individual units to other platoons in the deploy phase of a battle, I thought it was scenario-building only.
I don't know if this helps, since the removed units are still attached somewhere else and actually bought, but at least you can put them on the side or retreat them off-map if you don't need them.
In scenarios I use this to shrink some platoons or strengthen HQ units, assigning the rejected units to an additional "dump" platoon HQ which I then delete back in the buy menu. Which you can't do in a battle, obviously.

If I remember correctly there was a problem in previous version (4) doing this in a campaign. Which was fixed in this, I guess. Thanks for the idea. I think I will skip it though since it just takes too long for any single battle.

How do you make one of your own units retreat off the map?

What exactly do you mean? Units will automatically retreat off the map if they reach the edge while routing. If you want to exit units that are in good order move them onto grey edge hexes at your end of the map & they exit at the end of the turn.

Thanks, Imp. I meant the latter. I had moved onto gray squares before with no effect. Didn't realize the units go away if you leave them there.
