unit breaking

When a unit falls below its % and auto-breaks during say, an impact phase, does it run then and get removed AFTER it runs? Also does theunit breaking it give chase, possibly contacting supporting units behind?

Then what happens?

It sort of makes sense to me that the unit breaking flees for a phase before being removed thus giving the victors a chance at pursuing and exploiting the gap. I find my elephants breaking all of the time against Velites - the sods! :roll:

I believe autobroken units DO rout as you suggest and are removed at the end of the Joint Action Phase...see the full turn sequence on p 168
