Something else that is messed up; the one hex in the Philippines, Subic Bay Defenses (Corregidor?), has a Marine inf rgt. I tried to supply them several times, but the game won't let anything unload there. I managed to sneak a xAKL into there, but it couldn't unload, and had the same thing with a sub transport mission. I can use subs to supply other bases, but not that one. I've tried to evac small units via sub, but only once could I load troops on a sub "over the beach". Every time since they can't load. Can you evac troops by sub at a non-base hex?

Hmmm. I don't think I've ever tried. I know landing at non base hexes is an exercise in frustration. Is it the marine unit you're trying to extract? It's not permanently restricted is it? I know that the same unit is returned to you later on in the game. It'll appear on the west coast like all the other marine units. Can you airlift a cadre out? probably no need to do that any more because one of the beta patches made it possible to rebuild a lost unit as long as you can afford the men, supplies and devices.
How big is the base you are trying to unload too? if it's 0 and there isn't any naval support present you might not be able too. I had a problem like that when I was trying to supply a size 0 atoll before I used it for a float plane base.
