PeteGarnett -> Surprise & Over-run Naval Units (5/10/2018 12:20:24 PM)
RAW seem to indicate that there is a benefit to over-running naval units in a surprise impulse, i.e. more likely to be captured or destroyed (15.1) but other than a referral to the over-run rules there is no indication of how this works.
IMO the advantage consists of the fact that you don't need to have them disorganized to be able to overrun them.

Overrunning naval units If a land unit from the other side moves into a port containing any of your naval units, they must rebase. Before they do, roll for each face-down or surprised naval unit there.
Yes that's it. Disorganized anytime they suffer the overrun rolls, but even not disorganized, they also suffer them in a surprise impulse. Likewise organized aircraft overrun when surprised are eliminated.
