Is there a limit to the number of hexes a routed unit can travel? It does seem a bit odd at times, that a unit can travel through so many enemy ZOC hexes to escape.

Is it correct that routed units can bypass small units that surround it to escape, even when completely encircled?

it's correct that if you attack the same turn that you encircle a unit
being not considered isolated yet
it can rout throu your units

I do think there is a limit... somewhere around 8 hexes. And yes, a unit will rout through a ZOC if it is the same turn that the ZOC is created in. I also believe a unit will have a tendency to rout towards its parent HQ and have seen units rout from outside a pocket into a pocket made during that move.

So routed units will surrender if they were surrounded the turn before ?

Not automatically.

For units cut off the previous term:

Units will surrender if they fail are morale check during the supply phase (I think), whether or not they are routed or not.

Non-routed units will surrender if they are forced to retreat, and there is no friendly-ZOC hex to retreat to.

Non-routed units will still surrender sometimes if there is a friendly ZOC hex to retreat to.

Routed units with no non-routed unit in the same hex will surrender if an enemy unit moves adjacent to them (they disappear without a popup, but in reality they surrendered).

In my last game, the unit in Hanko routed to Tallinn. Must have been a lot of swimming.

Or the Russian Baltic Fleet picked them up. I beleive if you have naval transport capability and a unit is in a port it can route to another port. Sort of like Dunkirk.
