I think you are wrong. pge 37 rampage "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."

Note that this is not inconsistent with pge 97. The detachment is not
broken, but must still retreat. Rampagers cannot retreat, broken or
otherwise. Ergo, they die. Horribly. As they deserve to.
