Can a unit with Overwhelm attack a unit and still deal excess damage to the base, including when the attacked unit has Sentinel or the attacker is Entrenched?
The rulebook treats Overwhelm's excess as combat damage to the base without attacking it, and Entrenched only forbids attacks.

Yes. Excess damage from Overwhelm is not an attack, so Sentinel does not stop it, and Entrenched (which forbids attacking the base) does not stop it either. The attacker still cannot attack the base itself.
