One of our tanks overran a Rumanian 20L and crew. Both tanks have riders. The first tank was immobilized. They completely surround the broken crew. Steve asks how does a tank and rider force a broken enemy unit to surrender. If the riders do not exist, would that make a difference? Does one of the riders, or a half squad, dismount to accept the prisoners? On the other side of the village another Stuart overran but failed to break another broken crew. The tank remained atop the broken crew. There is a building Adjacent in Rumanian possession to our tank and broken crew. Tim

You only surrender to infantry or cavalry so the riders make no difference.

But if the first case, surrounded, the crew is eliminated for failure to rout? That is there is no hex that the unit cannot enter without being in open ground and Adjacent to either tank. In the second case, the broken crew is able to rout through the Adjacent building? Right? Or not? Tim

Normal rout rules apply. You can leave the hex if you can otherwise rout normally.
If surrounded you die from FTR. If you have a building next to you, you can go there. There is a good chance you may suffer interdiction as you cannot low crawl. That would leave you next yo an enemy unit.

That was exactly my assessment. Death from failure to rout. Tim
