Overrun

An Overrun Ground unit is one that is being Assaulted by a superior force that it cannot hope to beat back. The term might also indicate that the unit is surrounded and cannot Fall Back, though this is not a necessary component.

Units will report that they are Overrun on the Radio in the hope that another unit could come to their rescue, or simply to notify Command that they are no longer effective at their current position - depending on how badly they are Overrun. Command may react by sending a unit to help, sending CAS to punch a hole in enemy lines to allow the unit to escape, or otherwise shift tactics to try and get people out alive if possible.

An Overrun unit may or may not be able to escape on its own and return to the safety of friendly covering fire. If it cannot escape, it may escalate the radio call to "Broken Arrow", requesting an aerial attack on its own position.
