I recently ran into a situation regarding berserkers and return to normal, and am wondering if we played it correctly.
A berserk squad charged toward a distant stack of enemy units. As it did so, it discovered a closer but previously out of LOS stack of broken units. As per A15.431 it immediately declared that stack it's new target and made it into that Location unscathed. TPBF did no damage in the AFPh, but during the ensuing rout phase the enemy units attempted to surrender, which was automatically rejected by the berserk unit, invoking no quarter. Due to other units and some unfortunate LOS, the brokies routed to the adjacent hex and then died for failure to rout.
Since the berserk unit had enemy units in LOS (in its Location) at the end of it's MPh charge, but had not eliminated "all (but at least one) Known enemy units in its Location with either TPBF (halved) or FT during the AFPh or CC", we played it that the unit retained its berserk status at the end of it's turn. Was this correct?
At the start of its next MPh, there were no enemy units in LOS of the still-berzerk unit. We interpreted the phrase "in the interim" in the third-to-last sentence of A15.431 to mean that the berserk squad would charge it's original target location, even though that hex was out of LOS and no longer contained any enemy. Correct, or should the squad have lost it's berserk status at the end of the previous turn?
