Well, here's the text, verbatim: "...Rampage units are so berserk that they
may not retreat from combat. This means Rampage units are always caught by
the enemy and destroyed if they lose a close combat."

The last sentence seems to indicate that no matter what happens, if Rampage
units lose a close combat, they die. Said and done, no ifs, ands, or buts.
Of course, it's pretty ridiculous to say that 6 huge Greater Daemons all
of a sudden just up and die just because someone in a far away galaxy (or
universe, whatever) rolled one less than his opponent.
