Basically when a unit moves from the flank to the main frontline, it is able to engage enemies on the opposing side that do the same. While they do that, they continue to inflict casualties on each other like they normally would.

However, if a unit gets killed this way before reaching the main frontline, it will be marked with a red cross and the tooltip will say "This cohort can no longer fight!". However, that unit, even though it's dead, will continue moving towards the centre of the battlefield. That unit's manpower and morale would stay locked (basically it becomes invulnerable), however, until it reaches the center of the battlefield, it will continue damaging enemy units within its range just like it normally would.

I notice this problem often with Supply Train units; for some reason they do spawn on the battlefields, on the flanks. They start moving towards the centre, but always get killed by my flanking units. However, due to the bug even if I won the fight already, that undead donkey just has to reach battlefield centre to die. Battles that would otherwise be very quick and allow me to wipe out the enemy army completely get dragged out due to this bug and don't allow me to wipe out enemy armies even when I'm able to.

The issue with dead enemy units continuing fighting doesn't stop there. I also attached a screenshot of a case where my unit was routed but couldn't reach centre of the battlefield to die properly, due to unit of horsemen being there. It resulted in a weird situation where enemy unit was fighting my dead invulnerable unit, while my cavalry safely damaged it, as enemy unit's maneuver didn't allow it to damage it back. The screenshot was taken after it continued for about a week, and it continued for another week after that.

Steps to reproduce the issue.
1. Start a fight with an enemy unit that has Supply Train.
2. Your flanking units will kill the supply train.
3. It will turn into a red skull, but will continue to move on the battlefield.
4. The battle will continue until that unit reaches the centre of the battlefield.
