If a unit is surrounded on all 4 sides and loses the combat, fails the break test and runs 2D6, will it automatically get annihilated? This seems to be what would happen, but I'm not positive.

Yes, if the unit has no where to run, it is annihalated.

A little clarification.

You have to be surrounded by enemy units. You can flee through your own units.

Yes, if you flee, and there is a friendly unit behind you, then the fleeing unit counts as going "through" it.

What if the surrounded unit can fly? Do they still get annihilated?

it doesn't have to specifically be on 4 sides.

i tried it once by surrounding a unit of 4 thunderers with 10 nightrunners in a triangle formation (hey it was tribute to the horned rat and the skaven symbol! :D) and we declared his unit annihilated.

I'm sorry to say this....
WRONG!
You are not destroyed if surrounded.
In combat,troops are considered to be mixed together fighting. You can still escape. It was covered in a WD article on fleeing and I'm sure in a WHFB annual. I'll look for it.

Found it!

You flee away from the enemy withthe highest Unit ST.

So you would go through the unit with the weakest US (or away from the strongest), even if the direction is away from your board edge?

If this is the case, could you then flee into another of their supporting units and trigger another close combat?

Fleeing units go around enemies, they do not engage. Pursuing units, on the other hand, may engage if they "run into" another unit. It is called overrun.

The first turn you flee directly away from the unit with the greatest US
The next turn(if still fleeing)you flee towards the nearest table edge.
There is a whole article on fleeing with rules and"priorities".

Fleeing units cannont run into the enemy and start combat. They must avoid the enemy.
